Collaboration with STEM
2023
STEM is a Danish innovative textile brand
founded in 2017 by Sarah Brunnhuber.
SMARCH WORLD has created a performance and installation
titled The Appetizer for the STEM group exhibition opening December 2023.
The Appetizer seeks to tell the story of how we are connected and affected by the objects that surround us.
The performance was shown at the galley Inter.pblc,
Copenhagen as a part of the exhibition Edition 1 Take 2.
All the pieces are made in STEM fabrics telling the story of the STEM universe.
The Appetizer is a small performance consisting of one performer wearing an apron,
hat and protection sleeves with a tray and kitchen towel sewn into it.
All pieces have a unique, handmade print simulating cooking stains —
created using elderberries and blueberries, the berries that stain the most.
A performer serves colorful vegetable snacks in the same blue tone as the print,
giving the audience a sense of responsibility for the stains and encouraging interaction with the fabric.
