▶ Chōri (조리/料理) Collective Project (2022~)
Chōri Collective was originally founded as an artist platform facilitating collaboration among Asian artists, to examine complex colonial histories and question binary structures through culinary metaphor. It has evolved into a dynamic space where artists, performers, and non-human agents encounter each other, mixing, contaminating, and fermenting through experimental and transdisciplinary practices.
“Chōri” (조리/料理) in Hanja means "cooking," emphasizing the process, unlike "Yōri" (요리/料理), which highlights the polished final dish. We employ the metaphor of bodies as food and views the power structures inscribed upon them as recipes, seeking to decompose and further understand them as ferments. The kitchen disrupts traditional hierarchies of senses and binaries, fostering collaborative gestures and performative happenings. Between white-cube and black-box, Chōri Collective seeks to contaminate, knead, break, decompose, and ferment colonial structures.
