 Cornerstones

Six foods constitute an essential part of the cultural diet of Cubans generated from photogrammetry - a 3D coordinate measurement technique - of real and animated objects, rotating on their own axis, in a completely empty 360-degree immersive space. In a 360-degree VR experience, the bodies orbit around the viewer at eye level. The piece is designed for different digital formats, mobile phones, smart screens, 360-degree VR glasses, or on a cinematic scale. Food consumption has been used constantly by the Cuban state to generate, maintain, legitimize, and deconstruct authority and power, to build social relationships, and transmit technological, ideological, and social knowledge. Potatoes, rice, meat, coffee, sugar, and bread have been selected taking into account the drastic levels of variation that these products have experienced in terms of production, circulation, and ingestion since 1959 in Cuba.
