From Prego to Em.Prego: Cooking Art, Anatomy and Gastronomy for a new Visual Policy.

Abstract

Eduardo Freitas is inspired by anatomy, gastronomy and the world of restaurant work to create his creative proposals that cross different forms of expression, simultaneously bringing together visual arts, multimedia art and performance. The artist, who in his childhood and youth, alongside his artistic studies, lived and worked in the restaurant industry brings these experiences and memories to his creative work. Often, elements of gastronomy are anthropomorphized, or human organs are transformed into food, highlighting, in a metaphorical and ironic way, the fragility, inconstancy and finiteness of human life.
