Here is some extracts from my ideas presentation to be shown on Thursday the 2nd Feb.
I have been watching films and gaining inspiration throughout the past week or so. I have started on my recipe book and i am constantly thinking about how i might present it on display. Considering context and so forth.
In addition i will have a 'romantic dinner for two' to give a visual.
...
Here is an image i created from magazine and, watercolour and a embosser. It is for the 'oesophagus pie'
the magazine is this style throughout. I thought that it was this style was most appropraite as i experimented with collage and then i tried just watercolour. This outcome looked the best and i thought it looked professional - like it had been bought off the shelf.
The rules of eating have to be rewritten and my aim is to get others thinking of – how would you eat a human? Would you boil them? Fry them? Bake them? What would accompany your dish? Would you sit at a dinner table? Would there be some sort of ritual? Would you say grace or give thanks? Would you use a knife and fork?
Murder and survival
The Aztecs are believed to have practised cannibalism on a large scale as part of the ritual religious sacrifice of war captives in a practice known as exocannibalism - the eating of strangers or enemies
Aboriginal Australians are meanwhile believed in- endocannibalism - the consumption of friends and relatives, who are usually dead. In this case, the body of a dead person was ritually eaten by his relatives as a means of allowing his spirit to live on
History also provides ample examples of cannibalism during famine and other periods of severe shortages.
Survival cannibalism was made famous by the film Alive, based on the 1972 air crash in the Andes, when surviving members of the Uruguayan rugby team ate the dead to stay alive.
Its slightly distorted for some reason but This is the front cover of my recipe book i think it turned out better than i expected. I chose to have the pie on the front as it was the most 'appetising'
i included the saying "willful waste makes woeful want"
its the original qoute from waste not want not.
i included this because it is appropraite - when times are hard you cant afford to waste food. exspecially if it means survival.
