A few weeks ago, I discovered this website with photos, like the one above, that give food a new meaning. A close-up of the skin of a kiwi fruit becomes a hairy brown lawn which a figurine mows. Both the use of figurines and close-ups render these images of food surreal. Is this art or is this childish behavior? Is it food play?
These perplexing images of food make the viewer disoriented by transforming the object into a non-food entity. For example, there's a photo of two figurines sawing through a piece of chocolate that according to the image is no longer chocolate, but rather a piece of stone or wood.
Whether it be art or simply food play, the succession of photos is hilarious and worth a visit.
