CAFE ZERO – a nomadic smoke and fermentation house with no seasons is a performance by Søren Aagaard commissioned by Art Hub Copenhagen for Performa Biennial 2023. The performance is a long-form theatrical sci-fi cooking that gels into a dining experience. A pop-up restaurant with a hot and a cold tent inhabited by a group of five nomadic chefs – performed by Jackie Gordon, Scott Alves Barton, Erica Wides, Markus Oxelman, and Aagaard himself. While preparing the dinner the group of chefs entangle in a long staccato ping-pong discussing the menu, banter, break into song, share recipes as well as thoughts on inhaling microbes and the unpredictable seasons.

Bogserien Other er i sin grundstruktur inkonsekvent, fordi den aldrig ligner sig selv og altid kan indeholde noget forskelligt: serien udfolder et kunstnerisk eller kuratorisk projekt, eller billeder, idéer, og strøtanker, og forbliver dermed – i al sin andethed – sig selv.
