Aus Fleisch und Blut - Vom Essen in der Kunst

For a few years now Helge Kirchberger, the photographer, and the award-winning chef Roland Trettl have been covering male and female models with meat and sea creatures, vegetables and kitchen waste. Their glossy studio pictures have caused a stir in the feature pages, and in the meantime have also been exhibited worldwide. The clash between life and death, the pictures' eroticism and the sense of playing with the forbidden, have all attracted praise. Critics view the pictures as playing more superficially with content and images with which artists such as Hermann Nitsch and Daniel Spoerri first came on the scene. Against this background «Fashion Food» is focussing on food between the concepts of art, eroticism, subversion and religious consecration. (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)
