Rotting food still lifes, anyone? For those so inclined, Austrian photographer Klaus Pichler has created that very thing with his latest project, One Third.
The one third refers to the amount of food worldwide that isn’t consumed, according to the FAO. Pichler decided to point attention to the global issue of food waste by showing food being…wasted.
The series shows food in various forms of decay. In a way, the images visually stunning. Yet the portrayal of waste–given the actual squandering on display–can be hard to view.
Some of the photographs are nauseating. And others are downright spooky. But, on the whole, they do make us think.
