Romanticism was a period of transformation, it marked the birth of philosophy. The period signifies the beginning of the rebellion against standardization, industrialization and mass production - and a fascination towards individualism, and a ‘humane’ approach towards life depicting raw human emotions through art, music and the written word.

 

Eating is the most multi-sensorial experience that our body indulges in, from the ocular perception, an auditory crackle to the tactile texture, an olfactory sensation and a hormonal feel-good in the brain, food engages with all our senses.

Stimulating these sensorial aspects, Six Strings and a Mouthful engages with the philosophical rebellious movement of Romanticism through a gastronomical expression of art and a harmonious aura of sonic synchrony.

 

Some things to ponder on.

 

What does art do to you?

Is art only that you see in the gallery?

Does a movement become an art in itself?

Has art been transformative to human life?

Does art impact us in our daily lives?

re artists confined to express or free?

Can you eat, hear, feel, smell and view art?

 

In collaboration with guitarist Aditya Gandhi, we grouped forces to work on an experience where one could sense, taste, smell, feel, hear and see romanticism, the art movement in its complete essence.
