"WHITE"
Nestlé Strawberry flavoured strawberry drink powder (no "artificial" colours, as stated on the label) on canvas (wood glue and varnish spraypaint),
75cm x 44,5cm x 3cm (the size which fit a 25kg Zambian / Malawian maizeflour bag).
Together with 3 other works: BLACK, BROWN and PINK this will be formed into an installation.
An artwork on surface colour, human inequality (rich/poor and against discrimination), poverty (for the enrichment of a few), combined with a protest to unnecessary un-equal food distribution around the world and the unhealthy manipulation (sugar, salt and grease) as addictive additives) with food.
Using almost 1kg of this Nestlé powder as an art material is not necesary spoiling food, but transforming an important material into an artwork which meaning would not be there if an other material would be used. Though using food items in one of the poorest countries of the world feels ambiguous, but the feeling I have to do this and that it is rightful (and in a respectful manner) to do so is stronger.
Using a food item from Nestle, the role of the 10 main food multinationals (Nestlé / Unilever / Kraft-Heinz / Coca-Cola / Pepsico / Kellogg's / Johnson&Johnson / P&G / Mars / General Mills) in this inequality, is Incorporated.
