Slides, projected films and gestures by Ines Lechleitner
For her current project Sense Correspondence Ines Lechleitner has invited artists, scientists and writers to participate by sending her a description of a sensory experience in drawing, sound or text. The material received by 46 contributors exists as an ongoing collection of ideas.
In this chapter Cooking through a Collection Ines Lechleitner responds to a number of these contributions with her own audio visual materials and by cooking a meal. Drawings, sound recordings and texts from the collection serve as suggestions for ingrediences or spices, accompany and interrrupt the process of cooking.

For the Eat the Film! Ines Lechleitner cooked the four courses developed in Cooking Through a Collection created and shown in the Entretempo Kitchen gallery. Each dish served was accompanied by the corresponding chapter within the video. The tasting and eating of what is prepared in the video is the logical continuation of her research into the correspondence between the senses and communication through food.
