The International Edible Book Festival is held annually around April 1st. In this particular day the artist Peter Netmail (Peter Kustermann) made a magic recipe with different kinds of tree and others ingredients into his box. Then with the help of the audience's energy and concentration it developed in a beautiful and good book for Auroville. To our knowledge, the following countries have held this festival: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, England, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxemburg, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, United States of America, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Sweden. This event unites bibliophiles, book artists and food lovers to celebrate the ingestion of culture and its fulfilling nourishment. Participants create edible books that are exhibited, documented and then consumed. April 1st is also the perfect day to eat your words and play with them. - www.netmailart.de - www.colophon.com/ediblebooks/photos.html -
