LUNA, Fausto Méndez

Cocina incoherente [Incoherent cuisine]
Friday October 31 8 pm

This event consists of an installation-in-process, actions, and objects from which a situation will be derived. The title of the work is ironic: Incoherent Cuisine aims for a transversal intersection of analogous substances and concepts. Ingredients and ways of making food that might seem mad must be symbolically coherent, materially sustainable, and aesthetically honest. I will use the frame/laboratory of performance to produce three signs (ingredients). For now, I am clear about the use of three substances: corn flour, maple leaf and gold leaf.
