"THERE WILL BE 

NO MORE RULES IN EATING

EVERYTHING 

WILL BE MESSED." DAVIDE DURJAVA

Food Phobia | Rubik's Food Cube

Rubik's Food Cube

In our future, more present than future, everything will get smaller and minimal. We will want everything to be done fast and without waiting. My idea of food in future is like the little square in the Rubik’s Cube, a little piece of food that we will eat without cooking. There will be no more rules in eating, everything will be messed. My Rubik’s Food Cube want to represent this mess in the taste of food. Try to make sense in food with your brand new Rubik’s Food Cube.

Phobia

An irrational, persistent fear of certain situations, objects, activities, or persons. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. When the fear is beyond one's control, or if the fear is interfering with daily life, then a diagnosis under one of the anxiety disorders can be made.

Food Phobia

Defined as "a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of food or eating", each year this surprisingly common phobia causes countless people needless distress.

Living with fear means you can never concentrate fully and give your best. Lost opportunities. Poor performance or grades.

Food phobia is created by the unconscious mind as a protective mechanism. At some point in your past, there was likely an event linking food or eating and emotional trauma. Whilst the original catalyst may have been a real-life scare of some kind, the condition can also be triggered by myriad, benign events like movies, TV, or perhaps seeing someone else experience trauma.

Dream | Respiration | 2008

Dream |  Respiration

Respiration refers to the sequence of in and out. That gives the sense of rhythm 

and that justifies the use of the circle as the main shape in the movie.

Breathing in and breathing out can make us imagine things that stretch or compress, 

things that roll straight and in reverse, fast or slow in a continuity including the pauses 

as parts of the respiration in total.

In connection to the dream, the circle and rotation becomes an obsession.

Maria

Pensive Maria
removed her stockings

From her body came
voices of others
of a soldier who spoke like a bird
of a sick person who’d died of sheep’s pains
and the cries of Maria’s baby niece
that had been born those very days

Maria wept wept
now Maria laughed
she spread her arms at night
remained with her legs apart

Then her eyes darkened
black black blurry they darkened

The radio played
Maria wept
Maria wept
the radio played

Then Maria
slowly opened her arms
she began to fly
around the room
