Polenta with mushrooms (Meal for seven billion guests)

A soft sculpture “Polenta with mushrooms” is from the “Meal for seven billion guests” series. This series consists of felted fruit and vegetable compositions on a paper plate stand.

A relatively unique set of fruits and vegetables for every composition reflects ingredients of a well-known dish and an inscription on a plate informs about it.

However, a different way of cutting, preparing or seasoning turns this dish into an icon of another national cuisine, or home-made masterpiece of a half-educated granny.

It isn’t really important how to call this dish prepared on a recipe of the ancestors. It is a unique opportunity to experience physically the same feelings as they did, like sitting at the same table together. The stand from plates hints at the number of people who have already tasted this dish and therefore united by common memories.
