Softcover, 92pp. As new. Incorporating text-paintings, performances-for-video and real food, Brisbane s Franz Ehmann s show addresses the idea of the last meal, in existential, ontological, and practical terms. Meals replicate those given to prisoners on death row. There are also monster foods , used for torture (baklava was used by interrogators). A bowl of figs refers to Cleopatra s last meal she may have committed suicide. The foods, some of which are encased in black beeswax, rot or dry during the show.
