PerforMANcedinners & Edible Sculpture

Euros for everyone


Gastro-economy of the new millennium
Metabolismo de Libre Comerse*
PerforMANce-dinner by César Martínez

Photos by María AA and Mario Aguirre.

On the menu:
100 small cakes iced with images of the 500 Euro bill
- on a single-layer truffle or cream cake - to stimulate the eurotransmitters

The Central Financial n€urosystem
Euros eureka duros and Neuros

Between East and Blessed
Metabolism is capitalist and metaphor is socialist
Metabolic metaphor or metaphoric metabolism?
(…)

Neuro Neutral…

This sculptural experience will pass through our bodies
certain times
The same that nearly all of us work each day
Over 9 hours circulating inside
Circulating everywhere

Overtime, overtime

To then move to the dietary analysis
The paradoxical reflection of the symbolic contents
Metaphoric symbiosis of fats and carbs

The rumbling of irreconcilable sounds,
Action without control, spontaneous arterial hyperbole,
border patrol for the borderline of the senses

Metaphors for chemical reactions
Biochemistry of language
In the financial intestines

The banking bile
The mo rt ga ge acids
VAT hitmen on the annual rate
The assimilated interests of the duodenum

The excessive enzymes of the monthly quotas
Above us

Indiogestion behind the pylorus
Credit and secretions

Indio-gestion of the poor

Cheap cannibalism
Salivation of discourse, amylase of alkaline money

Linguistic monosaccharide fraud
Gastric juices of inflation

Intestinal crack emulsified by the insulin of taxes
sugars and starches fermented in d e b t  a t 40º C

financial unease
unpaid workalcolohism
workapedo I don every day …


in the crap of interest
I crap on the interest!

Fecal fecal fecal fecal fecal fecal fecal fecal

The expulsion of the tax haven!!!!!!!!!!!

What delicious peanuts!!!

The expulsion of the crap haven
Crapolitics for centuries
Making sense from cents

Earning pesos and for what, it has no weight, no worth,
Downward newtonian gravitation
Commission for withdrawing


We need money to eat and now we eat the money

No greater recompense than a piece of shit
What they call a decent wage
Sala río de risa y…………………………………. se cagó de la risa.
(the salary is laughable …………………….laughing our asses off)

E=mc2

Economy equals metabolic cannibalism squared
Energy equals market plus consumerism squared …

The following is whispered to the members of the audience when they are handed the cake:

CAREFUL! DON’T CHOKE ON IT!

Money that feeds us, we feed off of money, eating money

MADRID, HOPELESS, BOTTLELESS, LIFELESS.

Global cup against hunger and misery

Eliminate the tax havens
Eliminate the external debt of poor countries

Clean water for everyone

The hyperfortunes will pay a solidarity tax
Utopia is the truth of tomorrow
The premature truth


This sweet, nutritional, scandalous cake sculpture was in the difestive tract of the consuming public for approximately 9 hours. The event culminates when the audience performs the most common everyday task, defecating with a slight pink tone the metaphoric metabolism of what they have ingested.

However, some glucoses will be stored as proteins in the body.
Lastly, we all want a piece of the cake.

* The phrase metabolismo de libre comerse makes reference to the treaty of free commerce*. The phonetics of the phrase ressemble the economic concept. By changing comercio (commerce) by comerse (eat itself) the phrase gives sense to a metabolism where you can freely engage in commerce.
