I brought the idea from TV cooking shows. I simply imagined what if extraterrestrials exist somewhere and have been civilized, they might have similar cultures and social structures like mankind have done on the earth. I kept thinking about how they might cook and feed foods themselves if they cook like humans. I assume there are definitely a lot of weird sources and ingredients with meats of unidentified creatures. Furthermore, they might use otherworldly processes for cooking. It may have different cooking utensils, incredible colors, shapes, and unique ways — uncanny and humorous.

That is so special if I design the new alien character, environments, and food that we’d never seen before. Most of all, I could use this alien cooking show as a metaphor for human society. I am sure there are numerous implications of human beings because cooking is a fundamental task to do necessarily in life. The cooking comes with particular materials and ingredients from natural sources which are easy to get so that it has distinctive characters of regions. Most objects in the cooking also implicit human cultures have experience.

It was a motivation that made me start cooking. I was the guy who easily bought ready-made foods at the mart or waiting for mom’s cooking by urging my mom. Since I’ve lived alone, I started cooking and learned myself in order to solve my hunger and make a better quality of meals. It was inevitable for surviving. The instinct of survival would be raw and animalistic. I feel like I put myself into the more primitive, self-initiative life. Thus, I realized some parts of cooking truly reflect the natural human instinct. Entirely, this theme may be the best source of art.

This is a TV show. It seems like a common, ubiquitous cooking show. However, this television show is made by extraterrestrials. What I mean by this, the show is not the Television Program in the human world. It exists somewhere out of this planet. Audiences could not recognize where this show comes from because all the speeches(language) in the show are the alien language: English subtitles are added.

I designed alien’s cooking show reflects humans. food and cooking have a lot of implications for human characteristics which are diversity, but those are critical aspects of human beings.

This is a creep film has barbarous images that are a form of black humor. The alien figure has a ton of ideas from extinct aboriginal tribes by genocide. It implicates meanings of hidden sides of human characters. The language is also from the human world, but sound like alien speech because it is the extinct language.

First of all, I chose the fried chicken as a metaphor for the blind side of human history due to the meaning of soul food by African Americans.

The chef introduces ingredients for the cooking. She shows a head which looks an unknown creature in their world. She cuts an ear out and uses it as the main cooking material. She says "it is the part that we didn’t use for cooking in the past because it has only small meat and most parts are bones," and then, she shows how to cook with the ear and make it simple and delicious.

After she slices ears, she uses white powder like flour, and the ears are coated in a batter of flour. It makes the ear bigger, and she puts it in boiled oil. The cooking process is quite similar to making the fried chicken.

Finally, she demonstrates to eat her cooking. She says that “it was the useless part, but that becomes the awesome food. Please cook it yourself with this cheap recipe.”

Overall shots are P.O.V(point of view), but only the last camera shot is her medium shot when she eats the cooking so audiences can see her figure — it shows she is not the human.

​Then, audiences can also recognize the shape of her ear is the same as the cooking material that she cut off the ear from the unknown creature.

Finally, the TV show introduces a trailer for next cooking — also the next food is alien's body.

​Sometimes, we need to step back and look at ourselves carefully and have to see the blindsides of us or deep in our minds. Always everything humans did couldn’t be correct because we are humans. Some people deny showing their negative aspects even historians have manipulated the truth for next generations. My intention is simple. We need to look back ourselves with humanity and be aware of the truths in order not to make mistakes again.
