The "No Pears Allowed" project served as a prototype for 12hoursoup, helping to test the function and impact of the posters—a crucial element designed to draw the audience into the activation space. Each poster included tear-off slips of paper, inviting the audience to physically engage and become part of the experience. I trialed this concept at my school, inviting students and teachers to a chocolate fondue event instead of a soup. Attendees brought their own fruits to dip, creating a collaborative, welcoming atmosphere where I could explain my creative process, demonstrate the setup, and gather valuable feedback for refining the 12hoursoup project. This trial run not only tested the logistics but also helped me understand how the posters could spark curiosity and participation, laying the groundwork for a more immersive experience in the final project.
