Accidental Sushi

Media

Sculpture, Installation, Text

Year

2014

Exhibition

Autocenter Contemporary Art Berlin

Accidental Sushi is a reflection on contemporary culture, inspired by a collective bus experience on the M29 in Berlin with artist Yngve Holen (Ars Viva 2014-15), travelling East to West. The work takes the mundane and 'everyday' as its starting point, embodied by the humble sandwich, and marks our fetish for the exotic. The title is both a play on the word 'occidental' (Western) and direct reference to an accident encountered en route.
