Your Final Table

2018

Dinner is dead.
Dinner is no longer dinner anymore,
not on the tables, in the plates, cooked and eaten.
It is a bunch of millions of pixels,
on the screens, posted, viewed and shared.
Eating shows, food-porn pics, cooking vids and chewing ASMR.
People consume no longer the food itself,
but the representation of it.
It is no longer the eating itself,
but the image of eating that satisfies people.
Here we hold the funeral of dinner,
sacrificing with food replica,
to mourn the loss of physical realness of dinning.
