COOKING MEMES

Cooking Memes collects food memes from a surreal digital landscape. Food, reduced to an image, a slogan, or a remix, becomes a lens through which to observe the sociopolitical tensions running through culture, economics, and power. Culinary meme culture operates as an unruly semiotic system: it cements stereotypes and subverts them, displays identities and dissolves them, and employs irony as an analytical tool.
