All Utopia Goes Through the Belly is an installation I have been working on since 2008. It is a large set of glass jars in which wooden models of imaginary buildings, stones of various kinds, and food ingredients -cereals, oils, fruits, vegetables- have been inserted. Although the glass jars function as capsules that prevent exchange with the outside world, their transparency reveals the contents as if they were laboratory components. A kind of hierarchical power structure puts the focus on the current humanitarian/food crisis, intensified after the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, and the struggle for grains and staple foods.
