Amazing business! In the modern world, when food is overproduced, there are still people who are hungry or who are undernourished. And this despite the fact that about a third of all food produced on the planet eventually deteriorates and becomes unusable. It is this paradox that is devoted to series of photographs Austrian artist Klaus Pichler with the title Rotting Food.
On the site Kulturologia. Ru we have already talked about projects dedicated to the crisis of overproduction and the uneven distribution of goods and opportunities among the inhabitants of the Earth. An example is the installation Plegaria Muda by artist Doris Salcedo.
Austrian Klaus Pichler expresses similar ideas. Here are just a series of his photographs Rotting Food devoted to food products. But not all in a row, namely the spoiled one. The photographs by this author show rotten lemons, a moldy watermelon, a rotten strawberry, a piece of meat with insect larvae on it.
All these food products are shown in a completely unsightly form, already absolutely not intended for eating. This is the essence of the entire Rotting Food range. Klaus Pichler is thus trying to draw public attention to a real problem! After all, a third of all produced food is spoiled in the world! And this is a given that cannot be understood and accepted.
In a series of his Rotting Food works, Klaus Pichler gives the word "still life" a completely new, almost literal meaning. Indeed, in these images, vegetables and fruits are indeed shown dead, unfit for consumption. And there are millions or even billions of tons of such products around the world. And this at a time when more than a billion people on Earth are starving or malnourished!
