Surdough Room - Fermentation of basic necessities to survive: Bread and poetry
The Sourdough Room is to talk about our current issues regarding a basic necessity to survive: bread. As even regarded as sacred in some cultures, The Sourdough installation is to raise the awareness and bring out curiosities for its history.
In a world where we become more detached from long processes dealing with food, fighting against the time, The Sourdough slows one down into a meditative state while making it.
There is more poetry that is put in food than we imagine.
„There is always a deep poetic line when working with food, since a form of energy and thought is put into the process of creating or producing a material that will enter someone’s body, feeding their thoughts and emotions in turn ”
Asli (@asleasli)is an independent artist and chef. Having recently finished her studies at the Rietveld Academy Textile Art & Design School, she combines textiles and food in her work. In particular, she recovers leftovers for dyeing silk. She is also a part-time chef in different places in Europe. She assembles the colors that come from her kitchen to tell stories and poses poetic questions on our world. Food has always connected people with different backgrounds to their work. Asli likes to experiment, research, find possibilities to raise awareness in the food and textile world.
