# Socially Aware Art Installations Lost Supper by Marussiac Comments on Food Versus Money By tomas marussiac | Published 2011-08-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-world-supper-marussiac References: [marussiac.cultcode](http://marussiac.cultcode.com/index.php/component/rsgallery2/category/11) & [marussiac.cultcode](http://marussiac.cultcode.com) Many people take food for granted, but each moment is a potential step backward towards a new wave of global economic crisis; this is the issue addressed in Lost Supper by Marussiac. According to the artist, money has lost value and is only virtual tender, whereas [food is much more tangible](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pie-society) and of real importance. Thus is the basis of Lost Supper, which is a brand new artwork from the artist's collection DayLIFE. The installation involved a large room, in the center of which sits a big toy bus of humanitarian aid. In the bus are tables and chairs, but no one sits at the table, which is designed as a blackboard. Though this alone is a compelling image, Marussiac goes forward to virtually invite politicians and modern influences to the table, including the likes of Bill Gates, Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Global Economic Crisis:** The Lost Supper art installation highlights the potential for a new wave of global economic crisis and presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the financial sector. - **Value of Money:** Lost Supper by Marussiac raises questions about the diminishing value of money in today's society, creating opportunities for disruptive innovation in digital currencies and alternative payment systems. - **Tangible Versus Virtual:** The artwork emphasizes the importance of tangible assets like food over virtual tender, suggesting opportunities for disruptive innovation in the food and agriculture industry. ### Where This Applies - **Financial Services:** The discussion around the global economic crisis presented by Lost Supper prompts a need for disruptive innovation in financial services to address and prevent such crises. - **Digital Currencies:** The artwork's exploration of the value of money opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in the digital currency industry, reimagining how transactions and wealth are perceived and exchanged. - **Food and Agriculture:** Lost Supper's focus on the importance of food over money highlights opportunities for disruptive innovation in the food and agriculture industry, such as sustainable farming methods and food distribution systems. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Meal Kit Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-delivery-box.md) - [Painterly Dining Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7-paintings-the-art-of-dining.md) - [Hyperrealistic Food Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looks-delicious.md) - [Sizable Chair Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chair-installation.md) - [Thought-Provoking Interactive Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antibodies-installation.md) - [Immersive Hotel Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-art-installation.md) - [Refugee-Informed Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-life-jackets-installation.md) - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md) - [Future-Facing Sculptural Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-of-the-future.md)
