The Kitchen of Water uses the spectacle of televised cooking programs to subtly inform the viewer of water’s essential role in everyday life. Seeking to challenge the underlying assumption that water is simply provided to residents through opaque infrastructural deliverances, the Kitchen of Water celebrates the transparency of water consumption and re-purification within a dynamic reclamation process.
The epistemology of culinary water use is revealed through a series of transparent vessels which store, circulate, repurpose, and recycle water used in all forms of food storage, preparation, and subsequent cleaning.
The Kitchen of Water operates at a secondary level of visual stimuli. Using illumination of the transparent vessels, visible volumetric changes, and the visceral act of consuming portions of the continuously re-purified water system, a subtle, cognitive pedagogy is created that ideally will influence the viewer perceptions. In turn, the goal is to influence public opinion and acceptance of water as a finite, recycled, and precious commodity. Making every drop count uses not the big stick approach, but the subtle epistemic shift through the mass medium of a popular alimentary zeitgeist.
