This was not just an exhibition, but rather an interactive space. Visitors had the opportunity to participate in the work in the kitchen, prepare their own recipes for the audience on site or the next visitor, or simply taste the food from different culture, fuelled by tolerance and curiosity.

During the construction of the kitchen, they described the process as a kind of three-dimensional painting. Using wooden panels of different sizes, textures and colours, they created a bespoke kitchen island that spread out in all directions, forming small “islands”.

It all started with the idea of a dining table about three metres long in the middle, like the first stroke on a canvas. During construction, they discussed a solution to group the work surface, ingredients and crockery together. This concept was used to build on site, observing which ‘brushstrokes’ (spaces) were still needed and where the picture was too crowded. Shapes and positions were cut and arranged on site according to the logic of the painting. In the end, main islands, documentation islands, exhibition walls, video islands and other areas were created.

A tapered, spherical structure protruded above the exhibition wall, inspired by the ‘onion cellar’ idea from Günter Grass’ ‘The Tin Drum’ and representing a release of shared emotions. The book says: ‘When the heart is full, the eyes overflow.’ Due to the global pandemic, everyone is dealing with varying degrees of lockdowns and bad memories to some extent.

Similar to the special moments in The Tin Drum, They hope that in this time of need for healing, people from different cultures can unite and look to the future by preparing food, tasting it, and touching that moment in the present of taste.

这不只是一个展览，更是一个互动空间。参观者有机会参与到厨房的工作中，为现场观众或下一位参观者准备自己的食谱，也可以是品尝食物，在宽容和好奇心的驱使下品尝来自不同文化的美食。

在厨房的建造过程中，她们将这一过程描述为立体绘画。她们使用不同尺寸、材质和颜色的木板，定制了一个厨房岛，向各个方向铺开，形成一个个小 “岛”。

一切都源于一个最初的想法，即在空间的中央放置一张长约三米的餐桌，就像画布上的第一笔。在施工过程中，她们讨论了将工作台、配料和餐具组合在一起的解决方案。这一概念被用于现场施工，观察哪些 “笔触”（空间）仍然需要，哪些画面过于拥挤。根据绘画的逻辑，在现场对形状和位置进行切割和排列。最后，形成了主岛、文献岛、展览墙、视频岛和其他区域。

一个锥形球体的结构突出于展墙之上，其灵感来源于君特-格拉斯（Günter Grass）《铁皮鼓》中的 “洋葱地窖 ”构思，代表着共同情感的释放。书中写道：“当内心充盈时，眼泪就会溢出来”。由于全球疫情，每个人都在一定程度上面对着不同程度的禁闭和不好的回忆。

与《铁皮鼓》中的特殊时刻相似，她们希望在这个需要治愈的时刻，来自不同文化的人们可以团结起来，通过准备食物、品尝食物以及触及味觉当下的那个时刻展望未来。
