Description
This work represents a doomsday carnival after an epidemic. I liken international students to “American Chinese food”--a product in the context of the Western world. Therefore, I combined the differences between Chinese and American cultures to create ridiculous dishes; for example, the inspiration for long noodles hanging on the wall comes from Longevity noodles in China that are usually eaten on birthdays for health and longevity. In the audience's interactive process, the reaction towards the dinner gradually augments the sense of absurdity.
