川の水でスープを作り、味わうプロジェクト。 日本人にとっての味噌汁のような家庭のスープを川の水を使って作り、飲んでみる。 日本人の佐藤未来が横浜の川の水で味噌汁をつくり、韓国人のキム・ホソンがソウルの川でテンジャンククという味噌汁にとても似た韓国のスープつくり、交換して食べるパフォーマンスのビデオ。
Japanese artist Miku Sato cooked miso soup using water from a river in Yokohama. Korean
artist Hosung prepared doenjang-guk—a Korean soup similar to miso soup—using water from a river
in Seoul. This video documents our performance: collecting river water, cooking the soups,
and exchanging them to share a meal together. Miso soup and doenjang-guk—two similar dishes
from Japan and Korea. Our faces also resemble each other.
There is a shared past between our countries: one of occupation, and of being occupied. In this act, we made soup with the water that runs through each of our cities. We exchanged these soups—made with dirty water, made for each other—and tasted them.
"But you don’t have to drink it if you don’t want to..."
