Monochrome Multisensory is an artist-research project that explores the use of food as material in the arts. By reducing colours to a monochrome palette, the perception of food is abstracted, shifting the focus to its materiality. At the same time, the project raises critical questions: What is defined as natural food, and how does this perception change when familiar forms and contexts are deconstructed? Can food, stripped of its usual appearance, still be perceived as edible?

The project also examines the boundary between fine dining and art, inviting a reimagining of the sensory, aesthetic, and conceptual dimensions of food. The edible landscape and menu do not aim to provide definite answers but rather to spark further discourse at the intersection of art, gastronomy and cultural perception.
