Off the Table: Bibimbap Project2022
Clay and casters 8” x 8” x 18” Back in my childhood in Korea, I had always learned traditional table manners: the soup bowl goes on the right and rice ball on the left, and the spoon & chopsticks go at the most right side on the square table. Within the context of breaking the box, what if a functional bowl is working without the table? We humans are constantly seeking new ways so does a way of eating practice. Off from the convention, this performative sculpture reflects my self with nomadic life background. The dish Bibimbap includes many kinds of vegetables growing all different ways like our different life experiences from different areas. All these differences are gathered together into a bowl and move as a single object. *Model: Bonnie Kim *Documentation: Ryan Oh |
