In her installation "4kitchens", artist Meggie Schneider implants the kitchen in urban public space, to be exact: in the atrium of the Filmhaus. This kitchen installation, in which Berlinale visitors and guests are invited to participate, is structured around four mottos: Kitchen 1 ("Eat what’s on your plate!”) provides a place for discussion about the films of the day and cooking performances. In Kitchen 2 ("Give us this day our daily bread"), bread and soup are served daily to everyone. Kitchen 3 ("I eat, therefore I am") explains the world to its visitors; Kitchen 4 ("I love eating") is an homage to hedonism.
At the opening, a kitchen performance will be given by the artist group "Cheap". On the following days, in each of the four kitchens, there will be breakfast talks with guests at 11 am and cooking performances with different cooks at 6 pm.
