From a landscape architect to a plant-based chef and interdisciplinary artist.
Patarita Tassanarapan (KG) is a Thai, plant-based chef and interdisciplinary artist based in London. She was a landscape architect in Bangkok before moving to London to study MFA Spatial Performance & Design at the Architectural Association School of Architecture. After discovering her combined practice of visual; sound; and culinary art, she has become a professional chef and also exhibited food-related multimedia installations that allowed the audience to experience food through the narrative of visual and soundscape. She aims to create social interaction and connect people back to the natural landscape where the food comes from.
