Through the eyes of a chef with Elena Arzak
Experience the Wonder of Creativity/Recorded 2016
A close reading, kept within reach.
Elena Arzak takes food design as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in Spain in 2016, the conversation is grounded in Elena's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
The restaurants of San Sebastián, Spain are home to Michelin stars and gastronomy and Arzak is no different.
