15 Ereignisse in 7 Teilen — The cover the topic the beat – 15 events in 7 parts. Our five senses help to recognise our environment. Sight is our most dominant sense. How can you use your senses to communicate? How can your senses become communication tools? Not only sight and hearing, but also taste, smell and touch? Since eating is a multi sensorial experience, I chose the dinner to represent my project. Taste, smell, texture, appearance, sound and associations are key stimulus. During dinner the guests’ senses are activated and start to communicate. In a theatre of senses with seven menus guests can experience a sequence of various sensations. — Diploma Thesis
Part 3/3 Room (= the cover) – dinner, experience (= the topic) – text posters, menu (= the beat) – sensorial experience (= 15 events) – 7 courses (= in 7 parts)
The dinner takes place in a white room furnished with a table for ten guests, light and sound. Instead of a menu there were seven posters which announced the courses. The texts are quite conceptional.
They do not tell anything about dishes but rather give the impression for the following experience. At the end of the dinner the guests received a menu with the text »Worthappen«
by Ulrike Keuper and the revalation of the menus. Menu
posters (original size 70 cm × 100 cm) and ingredient lists were collected from
all the seven courses.
