Last Supper
Last Supper explores the relationship between food and ritual, and the shifting boundary between the secular and the sacred. The work takes the form of a performance/happening in which twelve randomly selected members of the public are served the alleged menu of the iconic meal, researched and proposed by culinary historian Daniel Rogov and prepared by the artist. The meal is filmed as participants engage in the rituals that emerge, without receiving any instructions. Afterward, the remains are left in the gallery exactly as the participants have left them. The video documentation of the performance is presented in tandem with these remnants as they slowly decompose over the course of the exhibition.
