You Are What You Digest

Despre eveniment

We invite you on Saturday, September 5, at 7:00 PM at /SAC @ Malmaison for You Are What You Digest, a LASER dinner with Thomas Feuerstein and Simona Deaconescu, moderated by Natalia Marin and Alex Radu. Participation is limited and available by confirmation after completing the registration form. The discussion will take place in English. The event is realized with the support of the Austrian Cultural Forum. What happens when we think of the body not as a closed system, but as a site of continuous exchange? You Are What You Digest brings together two artistic practices that approach biological processes from radically different directions. Thomas Feuerstein's METABOLICA is a five-chapter artistic system about metabolic cycles, moving from the Industrial Revolution and whaling through petrochemistry toward a possible biochemical future. It connects nature, economy, politics technology, art and science through actual biological processes. In her work BLOT - Body Line of Thought, developed with Vanessa Goodman, Simona Deaconescu explores the body through choreography, examining the invisible organisms that inhabit us and shape our biological and social existence Their practices meet around questions of transformation, contamination and coexistence: What enters the body, what leaves it, and what changes in the process? What happens when digestion becomes not only a biological process, but also a way of thinking about culture, technology, ecology and our relationship to other forms of life? Rather than a conventional lecture, the evening takes the form of a shared dinner and conversation, a setting in which the subject of metabolism becomes part of the experience itself.
