Please, some explanations about this great piece of postmodern art!!! YGQ (culture et politique arabe)

Yes, clearly inspired by Derrida's Glas, I think. The dual narratives inherent in the piece, you see, multilayered and intertextual: on the one hand an appreciation of culinary culture, on another reductionism and one-dimensionality. The cruel irony of Empire lampooning the Periphery. Quite devastating.
