Canadian artist Marcel Dzama is best known for his characterful depictions of idiosyncratic characters—some animal, some human, others somewhere in between—engaging in surreal undertakings that “visualise a universe of childhood fantasies and otherworldly fairy tales” (David Zwirner). In Elephant’s latest issue, Dzama shares not a drawing but a recipe for a fried egg sandwich, which the self-professed “late-night artist” likes to make as a midnight snack. “I copied it from this restaurant called Rucola, near to my home in Brooklyn, [and] I feel like I actually improved on it,” he tells us. NB. it contains no living creatures, and tastes delicious. Buy Elephant 47 now to discover the recipe.
