Eating is a conceptual and performative work of critical, polemical and political content by artist Abel Azcona.
[2] In the works, Azcona used representative icons of various religions, such as the Koran, the Bible, the Torah and other objects of a sacred character.
From there, Azcona founded an art collection together with other artists such as Lars Vilks and Bjørn Nørgaard, who had been persecuted and threatened for their creations.
With the collective, including Vilks, Nørgaard, the writer Salman Rushdie and the cartoonist Charb (who was killed in the attack on Charlie Hebdo),[4] Azcona carried out performances and conferences for freedom of speech in the Krudttønden between 2013 and 2015.
Subsequently, the work Eating a Koran, was bought by a Danish collector and donated to the Krudttønden for the permanent exhibition.
