The artist has been invited to present one of her videos of her previous performance entitled Beggar’s Food - Ho fame/Hai fame? (I’m Hungry/Are You Hungry?) (2010, www.foodpower.it) and will take the opportunity to entice taste buds and brain cells by getting the public and chefs involved in the game of Identità Affamate attempts to emphasise the differences between hunger and gluttony, concentrating on fragmented identities in urban settings and inviting New York chefs to contribute to the project. Identità Affamate will give:
1 Fork to the chef who will accept to offer a taste of his/her own cuisine to a member of the public who could normally never afford to sit at a “starred” table;
2 Forks to the chef who will accept to spoon feed that member of the public;
3 Forks to the chef who will accept to cook with the member of the public;
The people involved will be asked to talk about the food they have tasted. The action will be videotaped.
In anticipation of the event in New York, here are the videos of the first event during Gourmand Identities (February 2012)
