The Eternal Supper

The Eternal Supper is an ongoing, eternal,

investigation into the concept of what it means to be food.

It asks: what happens to me when my body is transformed

and absorbed by someone else—and vice versa?

Jansma sees this as a deeply unifying process, connect-

ing all life through a planetary metabolism that fosters

both spiritual and environmental healing. Acknowledging

our edibility compels a radical rethinking of dominant

Western dualisms such as body/mind, inside/outside,

human/nature, individual/collective, and life/death.

The work advocates for an animistic perspective where

the sacred is found in ever-changing material, rather than

in abstract, immaterial notions like heaven and spirits.

Through this exploration Jansma seeks to accept, perhaps

even romanticise, the way life hinges on the sacrificial

exchange of each other's deaths.
