Published in 2025, the Death Book charts the recipes and practices of artist Petr Davydtchenko. Part food book, part photographic manifesto, it posits ideas rooted in sustainability, inequality, and environmental justice. The book includes exclusive images, archival material, and recipes developed with chef Masayoshi Haraguchi, former executive chef at Michelin-starred Dominique Bouchet. It reflects Davydtchenko’s wider practice – rooted in anti-capitalist living, culinary resistance, and survival on societal discards.

Petr Davydtchenko (1986) born in Arzamas-16 a closed military town in Russia. Growing up in St. Petersburg he experienced the hostility of far-right groups before moving to Europe where he developed a practice that reinterpreted social-codes through totalitarian aesthetics. Recently, Petr Davydtchenko has relocated to The Foundry in Maubourguet, a post-industrial town in Midi-Pyrenees, France, where he is surviving off animals killed on the road through human activity and discarded vegetables. His archival practice has developed into an ideological case study, used by interdisciplinary academics theorising an alternative socio-economic reality.
