Food and the act of eating are universal necessities. Food permeates every aspect of our lives, whether it is to simply fill our stomachs or gathering for a social event, nourishment usually is at the center of our daily routine.
We are very interested in the multidimensional aspects of food and everyday we work to expand our gastronomic knowledge and skills.
By hosting food exhibitions and installations we hope to inspire people to approach food from new perspectives and develop new ideas about eating and the role of food in our lives.
We love and respect food and we promote a plant based diet. We strongly believe that our eating pleasures cannot be produced from the suffering of others.

Food Bless You Ñuke Mapu!
Food Bless You Ñuke Mapu* is our temple, a celebration of life, a celebration of food. We are all part of the same planet, and everything is so connected but we do not normally pay attention. Inspired by the Mapuche people, the Taraumaras, the Zapotecas, the Huicholes all defenders of sacred occupied and exploited lands. We built an altar for the planet…for wishes, good wishes, your wishes. We create a moment to reflect, to connect with the roots we might have lost in our society, understanding through the senses and the four elements, the extreme importance of food as a material, as a connector to others and our trueself making us part of this experiment called life.
Food Bless You, Ñuke Mapu!

gnamo CUBE
Food Interactive CUBE inspired by the Operant Conditioning Chamber, also known as the Skinner Box but designed for humans. Placing people inside the gnamo CUBE, the operant conditioning chamber, permits experimenters to study behaviour conditioning like training by teaching a subject to perform certain actions, in this case to solve a minimalistic game on a touch screen without any additional information on how to complete it. When the subject correctly performs the behaviour, the chamber mechanism delivers food or other reward. In some cases, the mechanism delivers a punishment for incorrect or missing responses.

Pomaceus Migration
Human beings today more than ever contribute to shape our planet; The aim of this installation is to shape it gratefully.
Globalization is the reaction of systematic and erroneous facts that alter the harmony of Nature. Instead of giving back what we receive we just take and take, waiting for more to come.
Pomaceus Migration symbolize this return to the soil of something so basic and so allegoric such as seeds representing the beginning of new life form, in this case an iconographic fruit, the apple.
Each apple is labeled with a different note. Everyone can choose his own apple. People are invited to consume the fruit and deposit the seed into a little lab container provided. They will write their names or alias and email on the label, this will be the name for the plant that hopefully will grow.
Collected seeds from participants
These seeds were transported back to Berlin and following the process of germination in our Gallery, I will plant the little tree in a special place where periodically I will check personally for his grown and inform through our web, following the evolution of new born trees.
The human effect in this installation will be intentionally focused to migration of a seed coming from an apple born in Spain, bought in Germany and eaten in Czech Republic, to a new ground where to begin the cycle again becoming an apple tree. Those apple trees will be named as the eaters and will grow strength by the energy provide during the process of eating, transporting and planting.
