I Am Becoming a Rock

A Culinary Tasting Experience by Yasmine Moufti

Inspired by the geological process of rock formation, ‘I Am Becoming a Rock’ explores how time, heat, and pressure shape both landscapes and human beings.

Visitors are invited into an edible exhibition where food becomes a way to explore the textures, forms, and transformations of rock. Drawing on the idea that a rock’s surface holds traces of its history, the exhibition translates geological textures into edible forms, inviting visitors to look closely at each piece, discover its details, and consider what it reveals about the forces that shaped it.

But these rocks are not just meant to be observed. They are made from carefully crafted edible materials, and designed to be tasted and enjoyed, accompanied by complementary ingredients that extend the experience. Through the act of eating, the rock becomes part of you. I am becoming a rock, and so are you.

This experience will be an opportunity to reflect on the processes that shape us, the traces we carry, and the slow transformations that make us who we are.
