Studio Olafur Eliasson (English Edition) is a collection of works by Olafur Eliasson, one of the leading artists in the contemporary art world. This book compiles information about the "kitchen" where meals are served every day to the diverse people who work in Eliasson's studio, including artists, artisans, and researchers. Eliasson states that "eating is an act of empathy and compassion for others." This book explores not only the original meaning of "food," which gives shape to human thoughts and fills the stomach, but also food made with the bounty of nature, styles that consider "sustainability" by minimizing waste and throwing away food, the visual beauty of creators, the circularity of various thoughts brought about by food, and the new communities that are born when many people gather together through food. This wonderful masterpiece fosters a future-oriented mindset through "food" and "art." Japanese artist and chef Asako Iwama is a founding member of the kitchen studio, and her creative thinking is interspersed throughout the book, along with contributions from Alice Waters, the American slow food pioneer and founder of Chez Panisse (who has also cooked in the kitchen).
