Oreo's "Twist, Lick, Dunk" campaign centres around the iconic way consumers enjoy the cookie, emphasising the fun and playful experience of twisting the cookie open, licking the creme filling, and then dunking it in milk. This ritual has been heavily promoted through advertising. The act of twisting, licking, dunking becomes a ritualised sequence, a choreography of gestures repeated across generations and continents.
Eating is never just nourishment—it is also performance. From the ceremonial breaking of bread to the slurping of noodles, food rituals reflect culture, memory, and desire, or simply routine. Every meal has its own score, its own steps, participants, duration, rhythm and speed. Meals TELL STORIES, not only of taste but of nature, labour, pollution, waste, traditions, trends, hunger, obesity, poverty, luxury, joy, solitude, togetherness, ... life. “chOREOgraphy” stages eating beyond simple food intake.

syllaBLEndings :: nazISrael :: naZIonist

 

en
Episode #105 of the "syllaBLEndings" – a reflection on how certain charged terms are increasingly used together – had to be discontinued after repeated agitated reactions. The works “naZIonist” and “nazISrael” were not meant as statements but as an invitation to reflect on linguistic connections and their current political and historical charge. Some say the topic is overused – yet precisely where language grows tired, it most clearly reveals what it carries within.

Folge #105 der "syllaBLEndings" – eine Reflexion darüber, wie bestimmte aufgeladene Begriffe zunehmend gemeinsam verwendet werden – musste nach wiederholten aufgeregten Reaktionen vorzeitig beendet werden. Die Arbeiten “naZIonist” und “nazISrael” waren nicht als Stellungnahme gedacht, sondern als Einladung, über sprachliche Verknüpfungen und ihre aktuelle politische und historische Aufladung nachzudenken. Oft heißt es, das Thema sei überstrapaziert – doch gerade dort, wo Sprache ermüdet, zeigt sie am deutlichsten, was in ihr steckt.
