The origin of “Vernissage” is the inauguration of an exhibition, when the painter puts the final coat on his or her works. “Vernis” in French means : coatings.
Is a gallery a place to eat ? An intimate dinner is set up in a Parisian galery to propose a “meta-vernissage”.  It is composed of a repetitive actions of coating the table and the ingredients.
Various sauces and juices go through a giant lacquer filter and run on a sloped table.
