Fine art photographs of tomatoes, potatoes, figs, limes, apples, pears all in rotten, eroded condition, as a consequence of stocked up food in our storage rooms during the lockdown.
Photographed on isolated background in self-quarantine, then developed using VanDyke brown process to immortalize decay and to create a bridge between traditional and new, between digital and analog, between permanence and transience. This is the "Still Room Still Life" series.
The lockdown started and I was sitting at home just like the rest of humanity. Watching the news made me realize how fleeting we all are. This conclusion was even more obvious when I realized nature took over my storage, and all the stocked up food was covered with mildew, and there’s nothing to do just sit and watch how natural processes consume us. I took photos of tomatoes, potatoes, figs, limes, pears all in rotten, eroded condition, portraying them on isolated background. For development, I choose a chemical process to preserve the mortality.
Artworks are available for purchase.
