Il volume è dedicato all'opera dell'artista svizzero Daniel Spoerri (1930), fondatore della "Eat Art" - termine coniato nel 1967 con cui Spoerri intendeva avviare una riflessione critica sui principi fondamentali della nutrizione, in rapporto al valore spirituale dell'uomo. Attraverso la poetica di Spoerri che si lega al tema di Expo 2015 - il volume illustra l'attrazione continua dell'umanità nei confronti dell'epocale tema del cibo, visto come interfaccia fondamentale fra arte e vita. Le opere qui presentate vanno dal primo periodo di sperimentazione legato alla rivista "Matérial" (1955-1961), quindi ai multipli cinetici, e poi ai celebri tableaux-pièges, assemblaggi di oggetti di uso quotidiano incollati a supporti e ribaltati nell'orientamento, fino alla scultura in bronzo e alla ricerca in campo grafico. Il volume, che accoglie numerosi testi critici e un'intervista all'artista, è completato da un'appendice documentaria, con lettere che mostrano i rapporti fra Spoerri e altri artisti contemporanei, le ricette dell'artista, i suoi appunti e menù a partire dal ristorante Spoerri di Düsseldorf (1968) fino al Bistrot di Santa Marta (Fondazione Mudima, Milano 2014). Completano il volume apparati biografici.
