Can You Buy Pleasure?

Artists: Christiane Gaebert, Mariel Gottwick, Maria Korporal, Libera Mazzoleni, Monika Plattner

Are our senses ready to see, feel, hear, smell and taste? Do we still have the time to enjoy in peace? In the fast bite. Do we find the right measure? Do we enjoy food that has been denatured, artificially enriched with taste and optically refined? Is the enjoyment? Industrial fraud is standard to deceive consumers commonly.

There is the counter-movement of the regional, biological, fair, ethical. Can the consumer enjoy good heart? How has pleasure changed in our society today with different ways of life, different eating habits, stress?
