Canone (kitsch)

Canone (kitsch) is a work about real and fake food (and somehow a criticism to modern consumerism), through the language of photography and painting, contemporary still life and classical nature mort. The ambiguity of the image deal with the ambiguity of the meaning and a short tale bring us in an ambiguous time, where a mother and a kid are set:

“Mom is this real food?” - baby said

She couldn’t answer, she forgot already.

Where are we? What we are looking at? Do we have memory of what we had? The small print reminds a miniature, like those we had in past centuries, to underline important scenes inspired by real or fantasy events.
