One of the more unusual and combative food titles we've encountered, Berlin's Food& is an experimental magazine exploring unusual encounters with food.
The magazine aims to expand the conversation on food and the culinary industry by inviting the reader to challenge the meaning of food in an unexpected environment. This has involved a contextual playfulness around food, with past issues including themes such as Food& Bathrooms, Food& Nuclear War, Food& Gravity and Food& Patents.
Here's the publisher's intro for the latest issue, Food& Spectacle
A NOTE TO THE AUDIENCE!
Upon taking your seat, please ensure that all mobile phones and/or walkie talkies are switched ON—✌️🧚 @foodandzine 😻✌—. Any bags must be safely stowed in the middle of the aisles, so as to deter anyone from leaving. We’d like to mention that snacks are permitted during the performance, but only the kind that slip down without a squeak—damp crisps are recommended.
The matinee will be performed in three acts and will not be paced by intervals, but will instead run throughout the day uninterrupted. Please prepare to be overwhelmed. All exits will be barricaded and there’ll be no opportunities to use the bathroom, your compulsory attention is appreciated for the show must go on.
So, settle your flesh suits into your assigned flap-down chair and peel back the skin from your eyeballs. You are here to be bemused, seduced, reused and defused! You are here for a slew of purposes, but together in the want for both bread and circuses.
