Antoni Miralda is a visual artist who uses food as his medium. He's interested in how food shapes our culture, particularly in the politics and economics sector. But more importantly, he looks at the ritual aspects of food. This is an exhibition of his called "Power Food"
Extract from the site:
"For its part, popular medicine and, especially, Chinese medicine, are thousand-year-old sciences capable of extracting miraculous, esoteric and magical components from food, which, in this way, is given almost supernatural curative powers. As the exhibition shows, the age-old wisdom of witches, quacks, magicians and sorcerers was applied to plants and herbs. With the aid of their modern and industrial counterparts, people take elixirs and potions, follow organic diets, food supplements for vitamins, and super minerals, contemporary, energy or biological drinks, miraculous pills, after-party products, aphrodisiac or sacred foods, ointments and magical potions."
