"An Intimate Situation"

Mella Jaarsma: I Eat You Eat Me from Smart Museum of Art on Vimeo.



Staged previously in Bangkok, Jakarta, and Sweden, Mella Jaarsma's participatory project I Eat You Eat Me can currently be experienced in a two-person setting at the Smart Café. (Art history student James Levinsohn previously wrote about his experiences with the six-person version, and the video of that meal is currently on view in Feast.)

Here Jaarsma discusses the origins of the project in Indonesia, and the rules diners must abide by while participating.  Intrigued?  Our baristas will gladly furnish you with a wearable table throughout the run of Feast.
