How much longer will it last? How much longer will we last?
The artist duo honey & bunny (Sonja Stummerer and Martin Hablesreiter) pose questions about how we use resources and how our food cultures are changing. Their exhibition at Museum Brot und Kunst focuses on three multimedia installations. These focus on the earth as a habitat and on biological and economic growth. Integrated photographs and video works address social and ecological sustainability. The two Viennese artists play with food. Are they allowed to? In their opinion, yes, because they see play as appreciation and humor as a necessity. They question known rules. They suspect conventions in the selection, preparation and consumption of food as measures of power. Above all, however, they are looking for ways out, narratives and aesthetics to make the production and consumption of food more "sustainable".
The installation "feel your f*ing eating culture" addresses the diverse and intense emotions that can be triggered and burst out of us when we eat. Pleasure, joy, disgust and aggression are blood relatives at the table.
The two works "ressourcen | handle doch!" and "wachsen und verdauen" were conceived exclusively for the Museum Brot und Kunst in Ulm. honey & bunny bring supermarket shelves and raised beds into the exhibition spaces to fill them with new content.
Dr. Sonja Stummerer and Martin Hablesreiter both studied architecture in Vienna, Barcelona and London before working for Arata Isozaki in Japan. The later Pritzker Prize winner pointed out to them that the most important task for designers, architects and artists in the future would be to provide sustainable, resilient and dignified care for up to ten billion people. Inspired by this, Sonja and Martin founded the interdisciplinary studio honey & bunny and began their research into food. They are considered co-founders of the discipline of food design. honey & bunny have exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the MAK in Vienna, the Museo della Scienza in Milan, the Palazzo Triennale and the August Kestner Museum in Hanover, among others, and have also performed internationally. Since 2015, they have been collaborating intensively with scientists from a wide range of disciplines. Most recently, together with the Joint Research Center of the European Commission, they produced the report "Food Futures", which forms the basis of the exhibition "at least durable until".
A performance with honey & bunny is planned as part of the International Danube Festival on July 11, 2024.
