In a participatory action in May 1971, held at the Sigi Krauss gallery in London and titled The Cake-Man, Paul Neagu reassembled a human silhouette filled with waffles in front of the public, then inviting them to a ritual of consuming the “cake man”. Each participant was given a “cell” of the body to be deconstructed, ravaged, and “devoured.” The special relationship between objects, tactility, and taste paved the way for a series of closely related actions through similar thematic research, disseminated through the Tactile Art Manifesto (1969).
On Sunday, October 22, a small group of architects and performers will reconstruct both the man in the waffle and the experience of being consumed together.
