EVENT LANGUAGE: GERMAN / ENGLISH

Tasting a mineral is like tasting the Earth itself — a moment when body and planet come together. In this guided workshop, participants explore salts, charcoals, and edible minerals shaped over millions of years, discovering how deeply connected our bodies are to the soil beneath our feet.

 

This practice takes inspiration from geophagia — the tradition of eating earth materials, like clay or mineral-rich stones, found in any cultures and even in the animal kingdom. Animals often lick stones to get essential minerals, a simple but powerful way of staying in tune with the land’s cycles. Here, the body is not separate from the earth but made of it — built and nourished by the minerals that have traveled through mountains, rivers, and time. Every taste becomes a tiny act of connection: tongue, bone, and stone meeting across deep history.

 

Together, we’ll reflect on how minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and iron — once flowing through ancient landscapes — now travel through our blood, strengthen our bones, and shape our breath. This shared tasting is a gentle ritual of remembering that our bodies carry the story of the Earth. By tasting deep time, we don’t just realize the soil is inside us — we begin to imagine how to live with care and respect for the living matter that sustains us all.

 

Workshop for max. 15 persons.

KunstHausWien

As the first “green museum,” KunstHausWien sees itself as a central location where issues relating to the environment and sustainability are addressed in the context of contemporary art. Based on the work of Friedensreich Hundertwasser and his commitment to ecological and socio-political responsibility, the museum presents exhibitions of contemporary art and links them to an interdisciplinary, in-depth discourse program.
