A pop, cute, and grotesque cannibalism performance
Based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Natasha Tontey is a visual artist who has also been receiving attention for her performance works in recent years. This project, which started in 2017, takes the act of eating—an act on which human life depends—and immerses it in the pop, cutesy yet grotesque world of Tontey’s art, inviting viewers to reflect on various contemporary issues such as global warming and overconsumption.
The work proceeds with this dramatic setup of a “performative dinner,” mixed with interactions with the audience. The performance will feature a menu for audiences to view, specially prepared for Kyoto Experiment!
