『藉由做一頓飯 書寫私密的文本 』
像是父母為孩子準備日常便當、朋友聚會中一人一菜的派對料理，也或許是情人之間有特殊紀念意義的燭光晚餐，在消費行為以外，「為某人做一頓飯」 是別具獨特的禮物，贈與者與受贈者之間在吃完飯以後只能憑藉抽象的味覺記憶作為線索，它既是配角也是主角，一個有紀念價值卻又難以紀念的禮物。
本作品是為您準備一間廚房及餐桌，邀請您為「吃不到這段飯的對象（們）」做一頓飯，或許他（們）是您已經無法再見到面的家人、特別的朋友，雖然他（們）會在您準備好的餐桌上缺席，但是這頓飯會由其他吃飯者來享用，傳遞您過去未曾送出的禮物。

“Between Meals” invited volunteers to make a meal to someone they wanted to cook for but the receiver couldn’t eat. In a well-equipped kitchen, the participant underwent the cooking process to recall the memories with the person. In the end of preparation, we suggested them to record voice messages to the missing one and decorate the dining table. The meal was eaten by the next participant without encountering, after meal, the participant continued as the same circle. We see the project in between a private food-therapy to social-sharing, as you put your laboring in food and turned it into a lovely meal to tribute someone you don’t really know, meanwhile, you also sent the missing to someone you really care with by cooking.
Between Meals
-To Make a Present by Preparing for a Meal
As parents prepare lunch box for their kids,
As friends hold a party with sharing foods,
As couples plan a memorial candle-lit-dinner for lovers,
Beyond the daily consumption,
The project is about cooking for the special person as a gift,
But the one, in fact, you will never send in hand.
The real taker will be a stranger, the only connection is the abstract memories of taste after a meal, what it would be? What may be “a gift” included?
We will set up a kitchen and dining table with basic equipment and food ingredients and invite you to cook for someone you want to share with. Then, this meal you be eaten by the other voluntary-participant.
