We often drink and taste things without being aware of what we are consuming. Although the appearance of these substances reveals their dubious source, we trust and allow ourselves to be guided by the indulgence of wanting more.
I took advantage of the circumstances during the toasts at a Makarov exhibition by referring to the consumption of food and beverages that were offered for free, as well as to the guests’ demeanors. To serve the event refreshments, I made the glasses and trays from transparent resin, decorating them with parts of mice and cockroaches.
