Scope and content

Alimentary Passage is an experimental video essay that explores digestion as a metaphor for experience, a figure for relating to and being in the world. While digestion starts in the mouth, the absorption of nutrients begins with the growing and distribution of food. In this video, consumption and absorption are mapped onto the highways and byways of the city. Inundated with information about food whether bio-chemistry, crop hybridization, cooking shows, slow food or 100 mile diets, the endless flows of sustenance are present in the diverse tributaries and invisible passages or urban space. More than a biological process digestion is a condition of change itself.
