‘It is this manipulation that is the metaphor and theme for the first chapter,’ says Rogg. ‘A journey from the best that nature can create to the higher state of perfection when combined with the artistic mind of man.’

Electronic music duo Walls performed throughout the event, creating sonic pairings for the courses, which included a pork dish eaten to the sound of snorting pigs.
