German artist Peter Pink likes to organize extras when creating his work. However, by the word "crowd" he does not mean people, but various vegetables and fruitswhich are the main characters of his photographs.
Making art from edibles isn't all that original. Many artists are engaged in this, including the Malaysian Hung Yi, who submitted thirty-one work of food on Instagram this spring, or the Italian Dominico Colla, who paints portraits of stars on pizzas.
German Peter Pink has a different approach to this kind of artistic activity. He uses food products not as material for his works, but as heroes. As proof of this - a series of photographs, in which the main roles are played by potatoes and cucumbers.
Peter Pink gives potatoes and cucumbers the look of living things that do much of what humans do. The above-mentioned root vegetables in the photographs from the German artist rest on the beaches, sunbathing in the sun under pink umbrellas, triple manifestations and even acts of civil disobedience.
Cucumbers, meanwhile, play the role of police forces, whose task is to disperse the demonstration of potatoes and restore public order.
Peter Pink, thanks to the art of photography, turns these vegetables into a very realistic likeness of people, in which it is easy to recognize the patterns of behavior of certain groups of society.
Peter Pink himself describes himself as a "nonsense maker" ("creator of curiosities"), and his amazing and unusual potato-cucumber works are a clear confirmation of these words.

Installation Plot, or a city of 80 kg of potatoes
Potatoes are not only "fried potatoes, boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes. Further: french fries, potato pie and so on", as Tosya Kislitsyna listed from the excellent film "Girls". It is also a building material from which entire cities with skyscrapers, palaces and towers can be built. Believe it or not, ask Peter Root, who cut 80 kg of potato tubers in three weeks to carve out a city reminiscent of Istanbul. Installation - and this is it - p

Etude in tones of green: foreign cartoonists about Spanish cucumbers
Spanish cucumbers, of course, ended up having nothing to do with it, but they made a noise and got into jokes, which means they will be remembered for a long time. It is unlikely that in a year most people will remember the strain of bacteria EHEC, but the fact that in a cheerful company of a mad cow and flu-like pigs and poultry, everyone has already reeled on their mustache. It remains only to evaluate the work of foreign cartoonists, performed during the hype, and with a clear conscience to close the topic that has defamed the good name of Spanish cucumbers
