In this essay we analyze the artistic event of a post Soviet time through the perspective of food studies, as our object is directly connected to them. We got inspired by the viral videos of people making cakes with the most unusual appearances, for example, a cake that looks like a burger or a cake that looks like a cup. Those videos made us confused, as the burger-cake, for example, did not look appetizing either as a burger or as a cake. Then what is it? Technically, it is cake, but its appearance tells the opposite. We decided to go deeper, to look for something that would not only mix different features of different foods but also mix something not edible and disgusting with what we usually think of as food. During our research, we stumbled upon the performance of Russian artists, who in 1998 arranged an event called “Lenin is in you and in me” or “The Mausoleum. Ritual Model,” which was supposed to represent the political situation at that time. [1] Everyone who attended the event got a piece of cake, which looked like a Lenin figure in a coffin. The size of the cake is close to the real body size.
