Paloma Bosquê's Breakfast Ritual Reveals Artistic Process Through Food

Artist Paloma Bosquê maintains a consistent breakfast structure featuring fresh juice, fruit, and a main course like tapioca. Her ingredients come from two sources: a weekly street market near her apartment and deliveries from a local organic farmer, both occurring on Thursdays. The mango juice varies daily, ranging from single-fruit preparations to complex blends incorporating leaves, roots, and fruits. Tapioca often appears with tomato and greens, though boiled yam with salt serves as an alternative. Papaya and banana form the fruit component, sometimes chopped or whipped, topped with Brazilian nut farofa. This detailed account of her morning ritual originally appeared in ArtReview's January-February 2020 issue.
