Robert Watts, Chocolate Cream Pie - 1964
This chocolate cream pie acts as a metaphor, by comparing our expectations of how food looks to what it really is.
In social media today, food is portrayed as this beautiful, perfectly arranged and garnished dish. It almost seems inedible. This chrome pie represents what we’re moving towards in society - food so beautiful that you can’t eat it! This relates to my long term media project because I take a more *edible* stance on food. I want food to taste good, not always look instagram-worthy. I want food to be nutritious and delicious, not just have flower petals and acai berries sprinkled over the tops.
