COUS COUS - Contested city, Spazio Alcatraz, Stazione Leopolda, Florence, December 2003
A wooden table 4 x 2 meters large, a plastic kitchen tablecloth with flower patterns, bright-coloured hand-made cushions all around. On the table 30 kg of cous-cous with chickpeas and sultanas, and 400 little spoons.
The idea is to exploit simple inexpensive food as a motivation for communication, exchange, sociality.
The table becomes an ideal relational platform for the moment, and creates a getting-together opportunity, based on pleasure as practicable experience, enhancing sociality and equality.
