The
project takes place in two phases. In the first, critic Pierre Restany
eats a simple lunch in the kitchen of the artist’s modest
suburban Paris apartment. The video of this meal is later played
at the famous Parisian brasserie La Coupole, on a television monitor
“seated” at a table as if it were a normal guest, while
the real Restany, wearing the same clothes as his video alter ego,
dines at the adjacent table, studiously replicating his movements
in the videotaped meal.
