FoW & Ricardo Cinalli Forbidden Fruit

The first collaboration of Cinalli and Food of War is presented as the head of San Sebastian. A sculpture used as a key element for a performative mass at Cinalli’s studio. The collective served a fruit mousse

made of apple and pomegranate (the legendary forbidden fruit and the most likely forbidden fruit

respectively) coming out of this head. The piece has been intervened by characteristic elements of

Castaneda, the collective and Cinalli’s brilliant style.
