About Imposter Kitchen

About

Imposter Kitchen speculates on “aging” as a stake-holding experience at a fine-dining restaurant featuring open-plan kitchen. At each table in the restaurant sits a group of patient caregivers, researchers and engineers, entrepreneurs and investors, animal rights activists, and more. For these guests, the kitchen would open up its pseudo-surgical process of aging steaks as a spectacle to enjoy with.

At Imposter Kitchen, audiences are invited to serve across guest tables the course meals made of different aging techniques. In the course, the stakes of each stakeholder group would be transferred or mediated to another via the audiences. With the audiences’ performative engagements, this work explores some contemporaneous possibilities where seemingly conflicting interests reconnect and coexist with one another.
