Behind the "Menu Hari Ini"

About a week ago i got an assignment from my lecturer to write down my interpretation (appreciation) of an installation art. There are lots of installation arts in my campus, and i just needed to pick up one. So i picked up the most 'simple' one entitled "Menu Hari Ini" by Iriantine Karnaya. Here's the picture:


The reason why i chose this installation is that because it looks simple, don't you think? It consists of 4 giant bowls (or plates?) and a smaller one in the middle. Each bowl's filled with replica of food. One consists of some kind of noodle, beef & mushroom, one with pasta, others are filled of macaronis, beans, mushrooms, or just by a sunny side egg. "What so simple! Maybe the interpretation of the purpose would be simple too!" Well, that was what i thought. But when we finally discussed it's meaning in the class, turned out that it's not as easy as what i thought -__-.
