Giacometti made tall elongated sculptural figures. If you're not familiar with them, check the link before reading further. They are totally unique and really excellent.
The idea here is very simple and consists of remaking a set of similarly elongated Giacometti forms out of pasta. A few of these
spaghettified figures dropped into a pot of boiling water would soon be transformed into a tasty meal. I'm sure Giacometti would have approved.

This is one of those cases where "I'm sure" throws the
whole subsequent statement into doubt. |
|
| |
Spaghetticometti, with Francis Bacon |
|
| |
Best served with Parmigianino cheese flakes. (named after the artist Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola) |
|
| |
Yes - sacrilegious to subvert Giacometti's wonderful pieces into pasta, but I initially had liquorice in mind, those being Giacomiquoirice-men of course. |
|
| |
Please explain to me how the shape doesn't get all distorted
and hunched over and sort of in a big pile of pasta when it's
served. I'm not seeing it. Guide me there xenie. |

It does exactly what you have described..... a tangle of elongated arms, bodies and legs that you have to hag into like a savage! Pour on that red tomato sauce to add to the drama. |

Can we have a side dish of jolly, round people by Arcimboldo, for contrast? |
|
| |
//jolly, round people by Arcimboldo// yes, or
perhaps Henry Moore potatoes? |
|
| |
I'm sure there are hosts of wonderful artists who's
living works we can identify and commodify as some
kind of foodstuff or other. |
|
| |
Some of Antony Gormley's works look a
bit like unshelled peanuts, so there's a lead
there. |
|
| |
Magritte Liquorice pipes, perhaps? (though
we might have to be wary of trading standards law
on that one) |
|
| |
There's Mondrian too, who strikes me would be
ideally suited to a new form of Battenburg cake. |
