DESIGNHUIS EINDHOVEN - DE ETENDE MENS

Yesterday i went to see the exhibition "DE ETENDE MENS" curated by food designer Marije Vogelzang. This exhibition, in the Designhuis in Eindhoven, cleverly illustrates the complex liaison between people and eating. It sure gives you food for thought!

FISHFINGERS, are eaten by millions of people....even though they have been chopped in rectangles. No one seems to bother that they come frozen, that they have been covered with a thick layer of breadcrumbs and have lost the shape and taste of fish.... Nature seems to be deliberately made unrecognizable before being served on our plates.

TOMM VELTHUIS-PLAY WITH FOOD, children learning about the current food issues while they play

VERSTAPPEN EN DRIESSENS-VEGETABLE REJECTS, 'ill shaped' food unfortunately does not reach our supermarkets, instead piles of it are being thrown away..let's think about that!

PORCELAIN CHICKENS, most of the chickens we buy in the supermarket have had a short and horrible life, these porcelain ones demonstrate the opposite, they are well priced and are meant to have a long life.

ARHUR VAN BALEN,with every sushi meal come these poly-ethyleen fish filled with soya sauce. Poly-ethyleen pollutes our oceans. Therefore Arhur developed a de-solving kind of fish shaped bottle.
