Street Gore Food
Ponomarevová, Daniela ; Zálešák, Jan (referee) ; Mikyta, Svätopluk (advisor)
The thesis Street Gore Food thematizes the banal motif of the excavation inside a common local road, represented by a sidewalk, and themes of fast food culture. The project is set within a conceptual and visual framework inspired by fairground attractions such as the Haunted House or Ghost Train, the trashy premises of B-movie and C-movie horror films. The work thus combines the scary and absurd elements of genre structures, grotesque entertainment and the cheap commercialism of popular culture. Its main subject is the implicit mediation of a street scene: a pedestrian walks on the stone surface of a road while eating a baguette he bought at a fast food kiosk. During his routine walk, when he is bound to mindlessly consume his lunch, he is stopped by a fall into a strange trench. This takes the form of a grotesque digestive system made from the likeness of kitchen equipment used to grind up food, or a bizarre menu having the character of a tasty menu from popular fast food chains. Street Gore Food is thus a stylized 3D model section of a sidewalk created using recycled-found cardboard material and drawing techniques.
