Carles Tarrassó

Carcaixent (Valencia), 1995. Gastronome and artist, he was a resident at the Spanish Royal Academy in Rome in 2021-2022. His work explores new configurations for gastronomy at the intersection of cooking and other disciplines such as sculpture and installation. Through a multisensory language, he investigates the relationships between gastronomy and the appreciation and transformation of nature, delving into how we conceive sensory enjoyment and the good life in the context of the current socio-ecological crisis.
