"Feast. Hommage à Marcel Broodthaers" is a satire. Exploiting false metaphors and 'Nature' as a cultural/political idea and anthropomorphic projection, the eagle is mirrored with the vulture, symbol of death and rapacity. At a time when "people have to watch what they say..." one has to watch what is said by what is not said. The work juxtaposes a series of statements -- "this has nothing to do with oil," "a vulture is not an eagle" and "this is not political" -- with a continuous video loop showing a close up of a group of vultures ferociously fighting to seize a bite.
