entry description
“Foodtopia” project happens at a utopian land, where all food items are gigantic and tasty and where it’s absolutely normal to cruise in a forest made from broccoli. The daily routine of a firefighter includes putting down blazing chilies and the regular winter is full of cookies and heavy powdered sugar snowfalls. To step on tomato, or to cut a fruit in Foodtopia is considered a crime and corn is mined in quarries. The people in the capital of Foodtopia, a city called Gratertropolis, work in their tiny offices in skyscrapers made of graters and on the weekends they chill by the donuts racetrack made of candies.about the photographer
