Volumes

Part of my internship at Studio Marije Vogelzang in the Netherlands, I was involved in her project Volumes, a food project based on eating behavior and mindless consumption. 

“Volumes is a research and development project of a series of objects that are placed directly on the plate between the food. We have the tendency to overeat and are visually misled by large plates and wide glasses.

By adding volumes to your plate your brain will register more food than there actually is. Your stomach can’t count. Your brain will tell your stomach it had enough.”

The project Volumes is an attempt to influence our eating behavior and eating culture.
