Soup of Flies

AA. VV., 2014

Curated by Disturber
09.05.2014 — 13.06.2014

Junk food, haute cuisine, fresh fruits or ready dishes: food is an experience everyone lives every day.

For the photographers we have selected, food develops into a new aesthetic form that makes the human presence before the lens incidental, if not completely useless.

From an everyday and “trivial” object to a consumed, architectural and colorful subject, mediated only by a photographic technique that is precise, neat and unsentimental, food is the protagonist in Soup of Flies, the exhibition organised by POMO Galerie and curated by Disturber.

Stephanie Gonot

is a photographer and curator based in Los Angeles.
Gonot's photographs are deceptively simple; her latest series consists of images that desecrate and usurp reality by combining a thematic obsession (food) and an aesthetic vision both original and personal (a predilection for pop colours of modernist taste). They are pictures that show us an “inflated” reality with new points of view and without empty clichés.
