Beguiling Photographs of Pancakes Cast As Moons

Can a book of pancake photographs lead you to question the power of images in general? Well, this one is pretty convincing.

"It began, as many culinary marvels do, with an accidental discovery. Web designer Nadine Schlieper and photographer Robert Pufleb were making pancakes when they realized that the gently bubbling circles of batter resemble the pockmarked surface of our moon. They decided to photograph their hotcakes individually to replicate images of the satellite as seen from space, as perfect orbs floating against a dark background."

Alternative Moon’ – a project by Robert Pufleb and Nadine Schlieper with 42 unique photographs of our beloved natural satellite offering “an unusual space trip to discover formerly unseen images”.

The images are unseen because actually they are not from the Moon, but a metaphor for how we perceive images. They are pancakes.

“Applying them to our moon, we are trying to create some kind of awareness towards interpreting and processing visual information… In the very beginning, the imagery of ‘Alternative Moons’ was a rather accidental discovery. It was one of those rare moments, when one is looking at an everyday object but sees something completely different…. like mysterious moons from an unknown galaxy”.

The photographs are collected in a book along with the recipes.
