Pamięć podniebienia. Smak i archiwizowanie tożsamości w instalacjach Anny Królikiewicz
Memory of the Palate. Taste and the Archiving of Identity in Installations by Anna Królikiewicz

Summary/Abstract: The axis of this article consists of installations by Anna Królikiewicz, who changes simple everyday rituals connected with the preparation and sharing of meals into art rituals. The artist “locates memory in the stomach” and her artworks constitute a laboratory examining relations between memory and eating. The Królikiewicz method involves a synaesthetic transmission of impressions from one domain of arousal to another. By means of flavours and aromas the artist tries to restore the memory of past situations, places, and persons. In the Królikiewicz oeuvre once living existence assumes the form of sensual traces leading the viewers to Sopot and Gdańsk of the past.
