Ice cream stand installation mapping the tastes and smells from NYC's different tribes into a comestible frozen liquid.
Description
Since moving to New York I have enjoyed the incredible variety of small tribes which co-exist in these five boroughs and their cultural and edible particularities . I am constantly on the sniff for new mixtures and essential tags. I would like to create a project which highlights the cultural diversity of New York City.
I have already done food performances which include Borsch ice cream, goat-cheese and fennel ice cream and congee ice cream. All these flavors are good, I do not seek to gross anyone out. But putting tastes out of context in a familiar material (ice cream) makes you rethink the flavor, definitely brings attention to the details that may get lost in the common presentation.
I would like to extend these flavors and make a more deliberate mapping to the cultural diversity of NYC. Parmegan and olive oil, curry, Williams-burger etc etc. I'll make a map of NY to explain the different tribes and match an ice cream taste to each community.
