The foodscapes have been coming fast and furious these past couple weeks. First I learned about London photographer Carl Warner's fanciful broccoli forests and smoked salmon seas. Then I discovered Gayle Chong Kwan's sinister Edens of rotting apples and wilted lettuce.
Now, I've been tipped off to Nicolas Lampert's meatscapes: goofy, retro photos of people with giant pieces of meat nearby. A cowboy squints into the distance from atop a mesa of honey baked ham. A family dressed in early-80's shorty-shorts poses proudly in front of a roast beef mountain.
Lampert, a Wisconsin artist, says his meatscapes are meant to make viewers think about the ethics of appropriating so much of our resources to raising animals for food.
