SOLAR DOS ABACAXIS
Pineapple, Nopal, Hot blood sauce
Abacaxi – tupi word for smelly fruit. The fruit-icon that crowns the tropic. As the tropics are burning. Será que nunca faremos senão confirmar. A incompetência da América católica. Que sempre precisará de ridículos tiranos.
Gestos naturais. There is no global warming. Estúpida retórica que não é daqui. Kebab. J ́adore! Pineapple? #lostintranslation. Fruta Real. Rainha das Frutas. Tropic for Rent. A mais cara. A beleza mais barata. De limousine à 2 euros. Natureza Morta. Still-Life. Nature morte.
THE BLUE OYSTER
Blue Oysters
Blue is not natural. It’s beautiful. Oysters and extinction. Predatory hunger. Bizarre delicacy. The taste of the plastic ocean. Blue ocean, blue.
Oysters are naturally queer. Strange. Ongoing transformation. Oysters are trans. Transforming into pearl. Blue Oyster Bar. I am natural. Totally natural, naturally beautiful. We are beautiful like diamonds in the sky.
REMEMBER THAT WE ARE DUST

Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return. Food is our closest connection to earth. Common denominator. TERRA. La Planete Terre. Planet Earth.
VOL-AU-VENT
Mushrooms, Aubergine, Black Olive and Quail Egg
Emperor of the cooks. Le chef de Napoleon. Antonin Carême, 1st celebrity chef. Extravagant buffets for kings and royals. Table as the stage. Food for the eyes. Fly in the wind.
THE FUTURE IS CARAMEL/CARAMEL MELANCHOLIA
