A discussion of contemporary “food staging” as a medium to stimulate and evoke sensation. Arrangements of objects that present specific objects of touch, smell, taste, hearing, and seeing, read not as allegorical representations (which they are as well), but as artifacts that are meant to guide the “application of the senses” — a technique that goes back to the tradition of prayer and contemplation and that can be connected with the artificial staging of food.
