Kitchen Kitchen is an interactive installation exploring the culture of food, its tools, and the rituals of preparation. By touching various kitchen utensils, visitors trigger their characteristic sounds, layering them into a collective kitchen atmosphere.

Food and its consumption are deeply intertwined with the act of preparation—and the tools we use to prepare it. Across the world, people cook and eat. Often, they use similar tools, yet create entirely different meals. These tools—their forms, stories, and sounds—are what connect us across cultures.

Part of the Kitchen Kitchen group exhibition, the work invites visitors to play with the tools and compose their own ‘kitchen symphony’: visitors interact with the wall by touching pink-highlighted segments on the utensils, each of which triggers a distinct sound. At its core, the installation speaks to the absence of food—and how the sounds of preparation can evoke memories, emotions, and even phantom scents.
