Cyanching Wu: cooking
The culinary identity of a community becomes a powerful device of social, political and cultural resistance against uproot, adversity, injustice and inequity, and how the sounds, scents and flavours of these food recipes, together with their flavours, emerge as sensible manifestations of these forms of resistance.
Cyanching Wu is an artist who works with sound art and culinary to point out to the problematic political situation of her country Taiwan and also as a way to explore the uproot she felt when first arrived in the UK. In this performance she cooked traditional Taiwanese recipes which sounds were amplified so the blindfolded audience could immerse in the scents and sounds of her cooking.
Feedback / Reviews
“It was a torturous hour to the salivating, hungry, blindfolded connoisseur audience enduring an hour of intoxicating aromas emanating from the gangway of the concert tent, seats arranged though we were hearing someone speak. In that hour of immersion into sounds of live food preparation, we were taken through soundscapes of an every city, a rowdy bustle of lunchtime fare, the yearning of waiting in long lines for communal eating, the clang and friction of industrial sounds and handmade care into meals we would consume later. It wasn’t quite time-travel, but it was nostalgia all the same.”
