The Trout
The Trout was presented on group exhibition Eat It, held in Art Prisma Gallery in Piraeus - Greece, in June of 2011 and curated by Marina Kanakakis.
The theme of the exhibition was the relationship between art and food and how the sensorial interaction creates a multidimensional artistic experience.
The concepts of nutrition and consumption are explored on a symbolic and literal level, creating a fantasy game between man and the world.
The piece consists of three parts:
...a life-size sculpture portraying the artist's hands holding a trout

...a text in the form of a recipe, that links the sculpture to the dish
