Their Last Supper
There was the Last Supper. This is an exploration of other people's interpretations of DaVinci's original work. Have something to add, or know something extra about an already-featured piece? Let me know.
At Your Service (art performance, Raúl Ortega Ayala, 2009)
‘Last Supper’ is a performative work by Mexican artist Raúl Ortega Ayala based on the research of food historian Daniel Rogov. Ortega Ayala meticulously recreates the ‘original’ meal served during the Last Supper and its surrounding rituals as allegedly experienced by the Twelve Apostles and Christ.
Following this historical and academic research, which reviews the traditions of Judaism, the cooking utensils and the ingredients available at the time, Ortega Ayala’s performance turns the gallery into an experience of uncanny time travel.*
