Paula Erstmann

Paula Erstmann is an artist who works primarily with food as an artistic medium. Her performances, menus and food installations negotiate the social contexts of the food she uses and are artistic research projects between art and the everyday. The culinary work of the Berlin-based artist opens up both sensual and social spaces. With her work and the idea of eating together, she wants to break down distances and create space for dialog. What stories does the food we eat tell us? The dishes, the textiles, the table from which we dine? What collective memories does food awaken in us?
