A speculative journey through taste, memory, and survival in 2100 India.
What Does Loss Taste Like? is an immersive, multisensory installation by Chef Thomas Zacharias & The Locavore, in collaboration with Immerse and Quasar Thakore-Padamsee (QTP), that explores the slow disappearance of taste, memory, and biodiversity in a rapidly shifting foodscape. Set in the imagined year 2100, the experience unfolds across five interconnected rooms — each anchored in a once-familiar space now altered by climate collapse, cultural amnesia, and technological takeover.
From a kitchen where hardly anything is cooked to a kirana store lined with synthetically constituted food, each room hums with the quiet absence of heirloom ingredients, traditional recipes, everyday rituals, and food stories once passed down by hand and heart. Visitors are invited to encounter this loss not through spectacle, but through intimacy. Projected memory fragments, hollow ceremonial meals, and a final staircase that reignites hope trace a speculative yet emotionally grounded journey through grief, longing, and tender resistance. This is not dystopia. It is a near-future mirror—close enough to feel real, urgent, and entirely possible.
