Mother and Son as Oyakodon
2024
Sculpture, Performance, Single-channel Silent Video (46:35)

A communication booth optimized to produce the singular dish of oyakodon. Designed to be efficient and equipped with all necessary ingredients, cookware, utensils, and dishes to cook. A booth about strategy--about Work Fate.
Within this space, actions that resist acceleration are performed. For 46 minutes and 35 seconds, I cook oyakodon and call my mom. A performance about intention--about Fate Work.
“To have a strategy is to have one fate or future we envision and that we try to realise, while to have an intention means to start from the present and stay there while the future anyway happens and fates (many) unfold.” ~ Valentina Desideri (2018)
