According to Marinetti, pasta was the worst food to eat, because it made humans slow, dull, and fat–so in this installation, the steam created from boiling pasta will form a sauna, giving audience members the chance to be as lazy and un-energetic as they want.
Marije Vogelzang invented her career as an eating designer after graduating from the Design Academy in 2000. She founded Proef in 2004, a restaurant in Rotterdam and a design studio/ restaurant in Amsterdam. The basis for her work is the verb “to eat.” Respecting the nature of food and creating experiences with food— from seed to shit—Vogelzang creates a bridge between the culinary world and the design world. Besides her design work for, among others, hospitals, museums, and restaurants, she works as a consultant and has lectured internationally. Her work has been covered in the New York Times magazine, Icon, Wallpaper, Food and Wine, and exhibited at Axis gallery in Tokyo. She recently published a book about her work and philosophy called EAT LOVE. www.proefamsterdam.nl
