“(...) Sandra Knecht‘s concept for the soirée, to which Koyo Kouoh and Samuel Leuenberger invited her, was to transform into dishes her interpretations of flavours – taken from the Swiss mountains to the Mediterranean in Venice. She set about preserving, pickling and cooking plants that she discovered, creating a cartography of the natural world around her.
In doing so, she “conserved“ her homeland in all its diversity in countless preserve jars.
This resulted in in both this series and a series of works for Home Is a Foreign Place.”
