This year's Frieze London, one of the world's leading contemporary art fairs, exhibited 162 galleries from 25 countries. One of the pieces included a experimental performance/installation entitled "Does this soup taste ambivalent" where The United Brothers, Ei and Tomoo Awakawa, served soup with the help of their mother. However the soup of their installation is no ordinary soup - all the ingredients used in the soup originated from Fukushima.
"We wanted to present this choice, where event though it is safe, the media coverage and psychological factors mean that people have a dilemma to eat soup from there or not."
-Ei Awakawa
Both artists are based in Fukushima.
