American photographer Joe buglewitz could be compared to an amateur blogger who posts photos of his favorite food every day, if not for one important difference. Before picking up the camera, Buglevich waits for the food to turn bad. With his works, the photographer is trying to draw people's attention to the environmental problems of waste disposal on our planet.
According to the artist himself, the idea of a provocative photo cycle came to him while living in an apartment with five neighbors at once in a densely populated quarter of Brooklyn. "If there are so many people on one living space, it means that someone is always cooking, eating or throwing away something that has not been eaten. The refrigerator is always full," the photographer explains.
Since there was never a shortage of food at home, Buglevich began to photograph them from time to time. In a strange way, he was much more attracted to food that hardly anyone would dare to eat. In rotten tomatoes or in a package of decomposing garbage, the photographer managed to see a kind of beauty. Despite common stereotypes, Buglevich believed that rotten food deserves the utmost attention.
Buglevich's photo cycle, titled "Rotten" without unnecessary embellishment, is distinguished by an excellent composition of the frame and a clear interest of the author to his own material. At the same time, the photographer's approach to working with material is radically different from the manner of his colleagues. Ryan Matthew Smith or Nira Adarataking mouth-watering, polished snapshots of food. Buglevich reminds that soon the food will no longer look attractive, so you need to "seize the moment" and not bring the food to an unpresentable state.
The photographer is also confident that he raises certain social issues with his work. "In a trash can or even in a refrigerator, stale fruit looks appropriate," he notes, but at the same time explains that even a small piece of garbage is a "flag" indicating a global problem of pollution of our planet. The photographs from the Rotten cycle are the talented photographer's attempt to draw attention to international issues.
