A MATTER OF TASTE
This series reimagines the boundaries between fashion and food, two worlds long connected by desire, excess, and identity. Both are languages of consumption, one feeds the body, the other the gaze.
Rather than presenting food as something to be eaten, I use it as a material to be sculpted, shaped, and elevated. The goal is not to tempt the appetite, but to provoke a shift in perception: what happens when something humble, even banal, is transformed into an object of style?
A Matter of Taste plays with irony, seduction, and the absurdity of luxury. It questions our habits of consumption and the value we assign to things, especially when beauty, status, and ephemerality are at stake.
The entire project was photographed in 2007 using a large format film camera, to capture with surgical precision the textures and tensions between the perishable and the iconic, enhancing the surreal elegance of each piece.
The book has been published in Italy, France, Germany, Brazil and USA.
