Strampel-Braten, an action on September 5, 2010 on the occasion of the 3rd Littenheider Kultur-Begegnungen on the grounds of the Clienia Littenheid private clinic.
For the event, I built an oven that used a bicycle drive to provide the energy needed to cook a piece of roast meat. A V-belt on the rear wheel of the racing bike drove an electricity generator, which passed the energy produced on to the oven. The energy suppliers for the event were visitors who took turns at regular intervals. The participants needed around 2.5-3 hours to cook a piece of roast weighing around 600 g until soft.
I was inspired by a quote from Josef Beuys: "I nourish myself by wasting energy".
