Si va da un mucchietto di riso basmati a pochi grammi di zafferano, dal pane in cassetta a sei tomatillos messicani. Tutto cibo acquistato in New Mexico, dove il fotografo vive. "Mi interessa il modo in cui la fotografia è usata per ingannare - spiega Jonathan Blaustein - milioni, se non miliardi di dollari vengono spesi ogni anno in pubblicità per fotografare il cibo e offuscare la realtà". E poi aggiunge: "Le fotografie di questo progetto tentano di mettere a nudo l'artificio; di rappresentare i prodotti alimentari così come sono venduti, (eccetto gli imballaggi), senza styling, ritocco, o illuminazione artificiale. Ogni immagine rappresenta un dollaro di alimenti acquistati da vari mercati in New Mexico. I soggetti esistono come quantità equivalenti di merce, e niente di più" (di BENEDETTA PERILLI)
