Bad Food Gone Worst - Ewoudt Boonstra and René Nuijens
To attract hungry customers to their restaurants, cafés and delicatessens, chefs have taken it upon themselves to photograph their dishes. They prepare their specialties for portraits that will forever immortalize their beauty, in the hope that they will be a bombshell for the gourmands pacing the streets in search of food.
Although a photograph can capture a particular moment of perfection, as an object it becomes increasingly dated. A fresh photo of ham and eggs will begin to deteriorate if not properly processed and protected. Overexposure to the sun and weather gives it a very short lifespan. Unconsciously, perhaps, we're all capable of looking beyond the results of time and, when we're hungry, accepting the use of photography rather than its beauty. Beauty, after all, is in the eye of the beholder, who sooner or later will go hungry.
