I Photographed The Molded, Rotten, And Dried Food Stocked Up In Our Storage Room During The Lockdown

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.
