This book present the culinary performances and installations of the Japanese (and Paris based) artist Lei Saito.

Lei Saito is interested in history, in narratives that are superimposed in layers, which she explores through different techniques, such as drawing, photoengraving, sculpture, photography, and installations.

To accompany this fantastic culinary narrative, three texts, written by Agnieszka Gratza, Alain Kruger and Thomas Schlesser, cross the book. The contributions of these authors offer us a reflection on what “Cuisine Existentielle” means, as proposed by Lei Saito.

The whole book is printed in fluorescent spot colors, thanks to the Color Library profiles. It was published in a trilingual edition by Is—Land Édition. The French and English text is set in Mercure, with Zen Antique Soft used for Japanese.
