Zürich Tourism – Artist Collaboration
What does a city taste like, and what does that taste look like? For an evening event by Zürich Tourism at the V-ZUG Studio in Munich, I got to bring Zurich to the table, with brush, paint and a lot of fabric.
A table that tells stories
At the heart of it was a four-metre, hand-painted tablecloth. On it I wove the ingredients of the vegan menu by Zineb “Zizi” Hattab and her team from Kle in Zurich together with motifs from the city: herbs beside old town rooftops, vegetables beside the lake. The table itself became the story, and every course found its echo on the cloth beneath it.
Art you can touch
There were also two large textile artworks framing the room and completely hand-made menu cards for the flying dinner. No two cards are alike. That is exactly what I love about projects like this: art that does not hang on a wall but becomes part of the evening, something you touch, read and take home.
Discovering Zurich anew
That evening, food and art spoke the same language. Guests could experience Zurich in a way that works with all the senses, right in the middle of Munich.
