Vera Duarte

This project means to create or stimulate reading habits, through an unconventional way. Make people want to read and know more, through something as basic as food.

The project consists on lasagna pasta plaques, with poems or small texts written in high relief. The texts would be available in several languages. The plaques could be cooked ("eat culture") or kept, as a curiosity.

The plaques would be packed on a celophane bag, and then on a cardboard package, that resembles a book. On the latter package, would be indicated the author of the texts, along with a small biography of him. In this case, I used poems by Fernando Pessoa, a well-known portuguese poet.
