(Archive) BUILD WITH FOOD

This project was part of DDW 2021

Eating together as a family became an important part of my childhood memories. Food was the link between me and my home. During the lockdown period, I became anxious every day. Eating a homemade meal became my craving. Does food help to build a space that makes me feel at home?

A MOMENT CALLED HOME

I grew up in a boarding school and went home once a month. Therefore, eating together as a family became an important part of my childhood memories. Food was the link between me and my home. Since Covid-19, I have not been home for two years. During the lockdown period, I became anxious every day. Eating a homemade meal became my craving. Since food is so important to me, I started rethinking the relationship between body and space. Space should not only focus on the physical part but also mental well-being. Does food help to build a space that makes me feel at home?
Then, I started an experiment to build with food which I ate with my family.
When I am building space with food, at that moment I feel close to my family.
The action, sound, smell, and movement all happen at the same time, and all my childhood memories are evoked. The whole family did farm work together, my mum was busy in the kitchen, the guests were chatting in the living room The layout of my home is present through my food.
