The logic – or perversion – of the notion of origin has been linked to different imaginaries and economic regimes of nation-states; to such an extent, that it is no longer clear who constructs whom, if it ever was. In this lecture- performance, geocultural understandings of origin will be tasted through food as method to understand whether a territory is defined by its original produce; or whether origin itself might have eventually superseded the geography that was supposed to define it. The analysis of quality and standards in relationship to a created original serves as a basis to explore how food empires construct perceptions of space and time as other forms of power.Cooking Sections (Daniel Fernández Pascual &amp; Alon Schwabe) is a duo of spatial practitioners that emerged out of the Centre for Research Architecture, Goldsmiths. It was born to explore the systems that organize the WORLD through FOOD. Using installation, performance, mapping and video, their research-based practice explores the overlapping boundaries between visual arts, architecture and geopolitics. Their work has been exhibited at the Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin; Storefront for Art &amp; Architecture New York dOCUMENTA(13); Peggy Guggenheim Collection; CA2M; TEDx Talks, Madrid; Fiorucci Art Trust; ACC, Weimar; 2014 Biennale INTERIEUR, Kortrijk; OFFICEUS, the exhibition for the U.S. Pavilion, 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale; and have been residents in The Politics of Food at Delfina Foundation, London. They have recently been awarded a Jumex Fundación de Arte Contemporáneo grant to research Islands of Food and Desire in the Caribbean.
