This vase is 2000 years old. The artist thinks it is necessary to break, transform and create. What do you think?
Massimo Bottura, the Italian Chef of Osteria Franseca, which won the World’s 50 Best Restaurants award in 2016, attributes his discovery of brand new flavors based on Italian cuisine to the fact that tradition sets him free.
When asked who inspires him, he talks about this series of photographs of Chinese performance artist Ai Weiwei breaking a 2000-year-old dynasty vase. When asked why he breaks thousands of years of history in an instant, Bottura emphasizes that Ai’s destructive gesture is actually constructive. For a beginning.
If you ask me, the path to new beginnings lies in breaking our routines, transforming our skills to use them in different fields and discovering our creative power to build new structures.
