We are eating the world we’ve polluted. This exhibition explores how environmental pollution silently enters the food we rely on.
Pei-Ying Lin’s work explores the relationship between humans and non-human life, especially focusing on viruses as part of our shared environment. Blending art, science and speculative design, she challenges how we understand concepts of visibility, life and coexistence. Her project Virophilia, exhibited here, imagines a future ‘virus-based’ cuisine.
Gyokee’s work uses strange objects such as nuclear popsicles and globes to create thought-provoking installations that reflect how humanity is consuming the very pollution it creates. His art challenges viewers to confront ecological crises often ignored in daily life. By transforming ordinary symbols into unsettling metaphors, Gyokee invites us to reflect on the relationship between consumption, contamination and the planet we all share.
Through installations and images, this exhibition reveals the hidden crisis behind everyday meals, inviting viewers to reflect on the ties between contamination, consumption and survival.
