Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

This is a project exploring the strange underbelly of food and eroticism. When we first set up Bompas & Parr as a company, one of the first calls we got was an inquiry about wether we catered for splosh parties. Innocently we looked online to see what this might involve – to find a seamy scene were folks get turned on by sitting in puddles of baked beans. This exchange provided the inspiration for a series of photos of people sitting on cakes, in collaboration with fashion photographer Jo Duck. The photos are paired with a sensual and luxurious film by Bompas & Parr, both are alarming but intriguing. Each participant chose their own dessert to sit on then filled out a detailed questionnaire ranging from more mundane questions about the favourite dishes to how they would solve the greatest challenges to humanity today.

For the gloriously gruesome theatrical dining experience Dinner at the Twits, Bompas & Parr teamed up with 40FT Brewery to create Mr Twit’s Odious Ale.
