Food Rules Tomorrow
V&A, 2019
A series of short films in which artists Honey & Bunny dine disruptively in locations around the V&A and test the boundaries of our eating behaviours.
No other part of our lives (with the possible exception of sex) is as ritualised as eating. Table manners are deeply rooted in culture and tradition and any deviation from the norm can feel outrageous. By playfully unlearning the rules that determine what we eat, where and how, Sonja Stummerer and Martin Hablesreiter – aka Honey & Bunny – question the eating behaviours we adhere to and their impact on social processes, economies and ecosystems.
As a carefully regulated environment in its own right, and a museum filled with stories of consumption, the V&A provided a rich setting for Honey & Bunny to film a series of provocative new dining rituals. The films were shown in the exhibition Food: Bigger than the Plate.
