Piñatas

2007
Installation / refreshment / public / BBB Art Centre / Toulouse

Several candy-pink spheres, suspended above paper of the same shade, await blows struck by arriving guests with the pink wooden sticks provided. The exhibit was part of the “A suivre II” exhibition hosted at the BBB.
Following the principle of piñatas, guests were invited to smash the reinforced shells with multiple blows in order to free the evening’s refreshments.
Once punctured, the spheres delivered a multitude of confetti and small golden packages containing pink-coloured food. Guests were then able to gather parcels from the ground and taste the small culinary preparations held inside, by turns sweet, salty, acidic or bitter. The remains of this work were left on show until the end of the exhibition.
