Prepper's Lab

The Prepper’s Lab will look at the idea of preparing and achieving skills. It wants to investigate if and how the prepper phenomenon and self-sufficiency relate to each other. To examine this in a more detailed but non-linear way, Søren Aagaard has stumbled upon sourdoughs, preservation methods, microorganisms, DIY trends, survival skills, outdoor gear, crisis, gut flora, catastrophic thinking, distrust of the elite and counterculture. The Prepper’s Lab will surf the internet, read books, build stuff, cook food and invite different guests and friends to find out and learn more about prepping. For the second cooking show Søren will be joined by Kaylin Eu, founder of Ma-Makan and chef herself, as well as the cultural anthropologist Julian Genner.

Søren Aagaard, born in 1980 in Denmark, is a trained chef and artist who works with video, sculpture, performance and installation art. Especially food and the meal as a temporally and performative event is an important part of Aagards practice. Through his interest in specific products and cultural, sociological and culinary history of different places, Aagaard speaks about phenomenons of our time such as climate change, social hierarchies, the worship of the nostalgia and the genius in the art world and the culinary world. Aagaard is educated from The Royal Danish Academy of Art in 2013 and has also studied at Malmö Art Academy. He has exhibited in Denmark and in different other countries and participated at several international film festivals.
