That’s exactly what Avril Corroon, an art student at Goldsmiths, has done for her final project. Taking samples from the most cursed fungal growths she could find in rented accommodation around London, Avril made a selection of artisanal cheeses that look good enough to eat. Except, they’re not; they’re stinky reminders of just how terrible rented accommodation can be in one of the richest cities in the world. — VICE
Art student, Avril Corroon has decided to take an unfortunate situation and make a statement through art. "The idea is to juxtapose precarious living standards with that of wealth, gentrification and thinking about where money is invested and where it is disinvested, and how often products are all made from a type of exploitation," the young creative expressed in a VICE article on her project.
She has decided to make cheese from the mold "she could find in rented accommodation around London." And her creations look disturbingly edible, but are actually quite dangerous. "You would hurt yourself," she says in response to an inquiry on eating the fermented mold cheese. The student hopes to shed light on the living conditions in London, and her project undoubtedly provides a bold and creative stance.
