El alimento como rotura: Dispositivos artísticos para la reparación del vínculo con lo no humano

Abstract

This work aims to investigate food as rupture through the analysis of the projects Food Chorus and I turn bad things away (Yo echo para atrás las cosas malas), by visual artist and researcher Marta Fernández Calvo (Logroño, 1978), developed in Mexico and the United Kingdom between 2019 and 2021. The goal is to study the capacity of some ingredients and recipes to identify the emotional and geographical rupture implied by the disappearance or alteration of the relationship with a known territory. To this end, a series of artistic processes and devices are proposed through which to identify these ruptures and restore the spoken and corporal relationship with food.
