Alberte Skronski^DK

Food Is Now becomes a natural playroom when the Danish artist Alberte Skronski invites you into her grotesque and surreal world, where nothing is as it seems.  

The performance 'Let Them Eat Dirt', which is created specifically for this year's festival challenges our notions of art. Through an edible sensation of a landscape of soil made up of consumable flowers, mushrooms, and stones, festival guests have the opportunity to step into a world where they can be silly, tumble around, and touch the art without being judged, and where play is at the center.  

After the audience has collectively tasted, chewed, eaten, and digested Alberte Skronski's artwork, her caricatured alter ego, 'The Gardener', will perform a cake-sitting performance. In this cake-sitting, the soil forms the scenography for the artist's play with food, which is silly and intuitive and offers a break from our trivial everyday existence.  

'Let Them Eat Dirt' is fakeness in real life. It is a world where everything is allowed and where you and others can have fun and be naughty and sensual in ways that our norms consider forbidden.  

 Alberte Skronski graduated from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm in 2022. She works with humor and laughter as an activistic tool and allows the audience to enter a playful state of mind that enables an intuitive experience and relationship with her artworks.
