All Food Is Political, 2025 Wooden table; inscription made of dough 250 x 50 x 71 cm
ArtistsAll Food is Political” begins with a simple recipe and transforms it into a reflection on culture and politics. The starting point is Popara, a simple breakfast dish deeply embedded in the childhood memories of chef Alexander Gocev, whose grandfather prepared it for him. This recipe was chosen as the basis for the exhibition RECIPE, which explores how written instructions can be interpreted, transmitted, and expanded when they cross the boundaries of culture, geography, and artistic practice. As part of the project, Gocev’s recipe was shared with artists from Bulgaria and Germany, each of whom transformed it into a personal artistic statement.
