It starts by choosing the menu.
Choose the main dish, the drink and the desert. You should prepare everything yourself. It’s important to write down the recipe very carefully to register the ingredients and the way you prepare it with your own handwriting.
Then choose how to dress for this special moment. A costume that makes you feel good. Pretty, comfortable. After you choose it, draw it. And then photograph its details. Take many photos of it. Make us feel the texture of the fabric by the images. Write down why you chose it.
Go buy the ingredients you need (don’t forget your mask!). Take photos of the path to the store and the place inside. Make a “selfie” there.
Start the production of the meal. Take your time. Enjoy this moment. Draw the ingredients. Photograph the process.
Prepare a beautiful and pleasant table. Take a photo of it.
Choose a song.
Enjoy your meal.
Die MahlZeit | A dinner made for oneself is an invitation to fifteen women, in Brazil and Germany, to produce a meal especially for themselves. I made a proposition that could be followed freely, suggesting them to register their actions and thoughts during the processes through texts, photographs and drawings. These printed pages are a small possible choreography with some of those minimal moments sent by each one. Vânia
