The Surreal Posts of Marco Pierre White

We all know Marco Pierre White is a genius in the kitchen. Now it seems the chef has turned surrealist performance artist, if his Instagram posts are anything to go by.

The English chef, famous for becoming the first to win three Michelin stars and then at the peak of his powers hand them all back, is never far from the headlines, despite his aversion to media scrutiny. The chef's pronouncements on the state of the industry, as well as his musings and reflections on life, are always fascinating.

He seems to be having fun with his Instagram though, and he has been posting a series of surreal vignettes, showing himself contemplatively cracking eggs or having lunch with a goose. What does it all mean, Marco?

It might mean nothing, maybe it means something? Perhaps it means whatever you want it to mean? What is Art? What is Food?

No Need for Words

Marco pours what looks like maple syrup over something, but we’re not sure what, because there’s no need for words.

Waiting for Lunch

Marco is waiting for lunch, and it arrives, but it’s a goose on a plate and it just glides past him and he continues to wait. Shades of Beckett in this one.
