Lobster and shrimp on my plate, I need my pockets so fat they inflate
"Lobster and shrimp on my plate, I need my pockets so fat they inflate" is a durational project that started in 2021 and delves into the culture and changing economy associated with lobsters. In the fourth showcase of their ongoing project artists Robin Phoenix Whitehouse (UK) and Todor Rabadzhiyski (BG) continue to look at how the lobster has been reinvented through the ages. This time framed from the artist's role during spells of time working in Kitchens.
"Lobsters in the sea, they climbed the economic ladder, rising from the ocean's depths, food for poor people and prisoners, all the way to a fancy restaurant, portraying high-class toxic hierarchies. But what have the Lobsters felt?
They've been boiled and cut from their back to the tip of their tail
they've been snapped and cracked, squished and licked, sucked from their strong shell transformed into the idea of hedonism and affluence."
