Does a Ryvita make a better foundation than a ginger nut? Or a Hobnob? Or an Abbey Crunch? Obviously wafers would be useless, only good for walls. And Tuc crackers, you suspect, would be a disaster waiting to happen.
These are the headaches occupying the mind of the multi-media artist Song Dong as he constructs a 12-metre city entirely out of biscuits, crackers and, to provide the finishing touches, cake…
The installation, Eating the City, is an exploration of the dramatic growth of cities, particular in Asia, and the resulting sameness. “In the future travelling will be an ancient tradition. I’m from Beijing which today feels no different to Shanghai or Hong Kong,” he says.
