Curator

Jacopo Sarzi is a Designer that mainly works on food related projects, in London, as around Europe. 
He is continuously researching ‘hands-on techniques’ and materials which relate with everyday food consumption.
Using digestion as a process and food as a tool, he designs systems aiming to encourage virtuous improvement in society and people’s everyday life.
Since he started working with food in Paris in 2009, Jacopo Sarzi has performed, traveled, taught and carried out research in various cities and institutions such as: Istanbul ‘Design Biennale’; Milan, ‘Salone del Mobile’; Germany, ‘Vitra Design Museum’, France, ‘Le lieu du Design’, London during the ‘Design Festival’; Switzerland, ‘Design / Basel and for the Art Fair ‘Tefaf’ in Maastricht.

At our first Creative Process talk with “On food design projects”, Jacopo Sarzi will present his design related to food practice through examples of his works. He will also use images from the past that have inspired his projects, and helped him creating scenarios for some of his performances. During the presentation, Sarzi will unveil how taste is influenced by all senses, and what synesthesia means in a food related project.
