CAMERA JAPAN FESTIVAL
Dit jaar vindt voor de tweede maal een Dordtse editie van het Camera Japan Festival plaats. Het CBK programmeert een bijzondere workshop van de Japanse geurkunstenares Maki Ueda en een [F]luister concert.

Behalve in Dordrecht vindt er een Camera Japan editie plaats in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Breda, Utrecht en Leiden. Er wordt een bijzonder programma samengesteld dat bestaat uit muziek, films, lezingen en workshops. Op lokaal niveau is het festival een samenwerking van [F]luister, filmhuis Cinode, de Popcentrale en het Centrum Beeldende Kunst.

ZATERDAG 10 OKTOBER: WORKSHOP 'EDIBLE PERFUME' VAN MAKI UEDA
ﾔVoedsel combineert goed wanneer zij wezenlijke smaakcomponenten gemeenschappelijk hebben.ﾕ Dit is het concept achter het principe van foodpairing (het paarsgewijs rangschikken van voedsel). Een concept dat volledig geaccepteerd is in de moleculaire gastronomie. In de database www.foodpairing.be zijn alle mogelijke combinaties te vinden. Het helpt om voedsel verrassend te combineren en nieuwe smaken te cre喪en. Denk aan grapefruit met cardamon of wortel met sinaasappel. Chefkoks gebruiken het als inspiratiebron om nieuwe recepten te ontwikkelen zoals grapefruitjelly met cardamonsaus.
Workshop van maki Ueda

Als geurkunstenaar is Maki Ueda gewend om geuren te onttrekken aan ruwe materialen. Ze raakte zo gefascineerd door het foodpairing concept dat ze een workshop heeft ontwikkeld die focust op zowel geur als smaak. Ueda combineert dit met de kunst van het componeren van een parfum, de kunst om de perfecte balans te vinden tussen honderden aromatische ingredi創ten. Het is een hands-on workshop over het onttrekken van geuren en samenstellen van nieuwe geuren en smaken, ge貧spireerd door het concept van foodpairing. Voor deze Edible Perfume (eetbaar parfum) workshop moeten de deelnemers zelf de twee basisingredi創ten meenemen en kunnen dan bijvoorbeeld olie maken met de smaak van basilicum en zwarte thee. Of een likeur geparfumeerd met aardbei en wortel of grapefruit en parmezaanse kaas.

DEELNEMEN?
De workshop vindt plaats op zaterdag 10 oktober van 14-17 uur in het CBK. Deelname kost ﾛ 20,-. De voertaal is Engels en er kunnen maximaal 20 mensen aan deelnemen.
Vooraf aanmelden is noodzakelijk, u ontvangt dan ook alle benodigde informatie. Aanmelden kan bij het CBK cbk@dordrecht.nl of 078 6314689.

[F]LUISTER
Op zaterdag 10 oktober om 20.00 uur vindt een [F]luister optreden plaats, meer informatie is binnenkort te vinden op onze website.

Inspirations

This workshop is primarily inspired by the activities of artists-collective FoAM in Brussels. One of the inspiring events that Maja Kuzmanovic has developed at FoAM was Open Sauces (Nov. 2008). It was about the future of food in many different perspectives. The issues herein included were: molecular gastronomy, food pairing, eating and senses (where Maki Ueda has contributed), logistics and food problems, safety of foods, etc.

The Heart Sutra (Buddhist)
translated by Halifax, Joan / Kazuaki Tanahashi

The Sutra on the Heart of Realizing Wisdom Beyond Wisdom

The Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara moving in the deep course of realizing
wisdom beyond wisdom, sees that all five streams of body and mind are
boundless, and then becomes free from all anguish.

Seeing this, Shariputra says to Avalokiteshvara,
'How should one train, if one wishes to realize wisdom beyond wisdom?'

Listen, Shariputra,
form is not separate from boundlessness;
boundlessness is not separate from form.
Form is boundlessness; boundlessness is form.
Feelings, perceptions, mental formations,
and discernment are also like this.

Oh Shariputra,
boundlessness is the nature of all things.
It neither arises nor perishes,
neither stains nor purifies,
neither increases nor decreases.
Boundlessness is not limited by form,
nor by feelings, perceptions,
mental formations, and discernment.

It is free of the eyes, ears, nose,
tongue, body and mind;
free of sight, sound, smell, taste,
touch, and any object of mind;
free of sensory realms
including mind-consciousness.

It is free of ignorance and the end of ignorance.
Boundlessness is free of old age and death
and free from the end of old age and death.
It is free of suffering, arising, cessation, and path,
and free of wisdom and attainment.

Being free of attainment,
the Boddhisattvas,
and those who help all to awaken
abide in the realization of wisdom beyond wisdom
and live with an unhindered mind.
Without hindrance, the mind has no fear.
Free from confusion,
the Boddhisattvas and those who lead all to emancipation
embody complete serenity.

All those, in the past, present, and future,
who realize wisdom beyond wisdom
manifest unsurpassable, authentic and thorough awakening.

Know that realizing wisdom beyond wisdom
is no other than this great mantra,
luminous, incomparable, and supreme.
It relieves all suffering.
It is genuine, not illusory.
So set forth this mantra of realizing
wisdom beyond wisdom.
Set forth this mantra that says,


Gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate,
bodhi svaha!
