Water Me, 2009

Potatoes produce electricity for an engine, which functions as the drive for the watering machine. This machine functions as gears or metaphorically as a heart, which watered the potatoes and hence supplies the potatoes with all the necessary nutrients that promote their growth. By a parallel connection, the adult potato is reconnected to the motor, so that created a self-contained, natural, electrical circuit and in such the beginning and end of life is the same unit. The potato as a culinary unit embodies not only a wide range of symbols, rules and rituals, but also functions as a traditional food of an entire culture.
