The book "**Soren Dahlgaard: The Dough Warrior Project**" explores themes and topics related to contemporary art, performance art, and the artistic process. Key areas include:
- **Performance Art and Alter Egos**: The creation and use of "**The Dough Warrior**" as an alter ego. In 2007, Dahlgaard created his alter ego, The Dough Warrior, and performed wearing a costume made from 70 kg of dough 【1】.
- **Unconventional Materials and Mediums**: The use of **dough as a primary artistic medium** 【2】.
- **Artistic Process and Identity**: The artist's engagement with the act of creation, the challenges of painting, and the artist's role within the art system 【3】. The Dough Warrior wants to make a great, unique, original painting but feels the weight of the history of painting 【3】.
- **Dialogue with Art History**: The project's interaction with and commentary on the history of painting 【3】.
These themes can help connect the book to other works in a library focusing on similar artistic practices or theoretical discussions.
