TheGreenEyl was commissioned by Stiſtung Jüdisches Museum Berlin to create a piece for an exhibition on food and religion.

Four unique festivities celebrated by people of distinct cultures are assembled in an archetypical scene of congregation. Visitors approaching a round table filled with empty dishes discover that these are actually telling personal stories about the symbolic meaning of food and rituals. Written by a story writer, these stories are are based on interviews and research carried out for this piece. The content changes according to the dishes‘ positions and their distance to the others. Similarities and peculiarities of different food ceremonies explored in a playful and entertaining way. By changing table constellations, the visitors reveal more and more stories and become part of a participatory spectacle. 

With a variety of sensors and microelectronics, each module offers the ability to calculate, behave and narrate according to our wishes. The significant capability however is the human being, carrying the device..
