Three vertically stacked monitors display footage of the artist’s eating performance. Chinese artist Zhang Peili transforms the repetitive daily act of consumption into a ritualistic ceremony, with the camera interestingly capturing the perspectives of both the food (looking up at the artist) and the artist (looking down at the bowl).
