All you can eat
— Produci, consuma, crepa.
A poster series for Nobody's Perfect party at Tenax / Florence
Season 16/17
A visual criticism symbolically linked to the world of food, starting from the Tenax world as a whole and taking into account, first and foremost, the historic and sensitive polyhedral of a club that has been living and growing culturally for more than thirty years not compromising on transmitting their unique and alternative character.
Inspired by the art united to the art of Dadaism in the early twentieth century, the peculiarity and focal point of every declination of the imagination of All you can eat will be the representation of food elements combined with ornamental non-food elements.
We live in a time when food has become (in good and evil) a true aesthetic and symbolic extension of our image, a reflection that transmits a portion of what we would like to communicate to our soul and our personality through an easy and fast reworking. The way we get information tends to get faster and faster.

Every aspect of our daily life is structured to perceive a need and satisfy it as soon as possible to reduce the energy used to assimilate and know anything, whether food, music or video, to find out how to repair an appliance. With the keyboard we express concepts in 140 characters, we listen to music in shuffle mode in playlists and we do not need to know all the tracks of a disc, just say that you are listening to it, we go directly to the track that tastes us and after a few seconds we are ready to skip to the next track.
As with music, these considerations have become the paradigm of common human experiences. The example is par excellence when we talk about food.
Our personal profiles within social networks are stuffed with food-related content; more and more often we are creating real photo sets to capture our favorite scope with one click. Also, following the Italian Expo 2015 experience, the role of food in society continues to evolve, moving from our tradition to projecting it in an evolving and enriched way in the future.
Cultivation of everything leads us to passively pass on art, catastrophe, food, sparingly and desensitizing ourselves, as if we did not experience anything in the face of beauty, tragedy, nourishment.
We risk being sucked in by the speed of living by staying motionless looking at our image in the whirlpool, powerless in the face of our end.
