Maison V presents an exhibition of edible art objects that aims to show that luxury cakes are more than just desert, they can be a unique expression of artistic creation.
The ephemeral aspect of this art form is fascinating. A luxury cake can take up to 90 hours of hand labor to make, it is presented for about 10 minutes, drawing –if done right– reactions of joy and amazement, and then it is quickly eaten.
It is a factual internalization of art, its most literal form of consumption. Nourishment is one of the main necessities of existence, but desert is transcendental of the simple physical need at thus serves the same purpose as any other form of art, which is to procure pleasure, including from an esthetical point of view.
Furthermore, almost anything than can be done in the field of visual arts can be transposed into an edible form, which can therefore simply become a new medium of artistic expression, going through the same process of conceptualization, design and then manufacturing.
