German artist Carsten Höller‘s Brutalisten restaurant moved to Paris as part of Art Basel to serve up a new ephemeral experience that blurs the lines between gastronomy and contemporary art led by the culinary collective We Are Ona.
For its latest collaborative pop up, the studio collaborates with Höller to bring its Stockholm restaurant to the French capital through a sober and elegant evening in an unusual space; intervened in the past by artists such as Harry Nuriev and Willo Perron.
On this occasion, the We Are Ona team dyed everything in black and white: from the furniture to the tableware. In the case of the culinary proposal, it was largely inspired by Höller’s Brutalist Kitchen Manifesto. For this, the artist devised the so-called ‘manual for brutalist eating and cooking’, the basic principle of which is that each dish can only be made with one ingredient.
‘It’s inspired by the way I eat,’ Höller told Hypebeast at the time of the restaurant’s opening. ‘My best dining experiences come from simple, perfectly cooked ingredients. It could be freshly picked and sautéed wild mushrooms, freshly caught seafood or a particular wild bird roast.’
The Brutalisten x We Are Ona pop-up was open in Paris until October 20.
