Michiko Kon- Eat, 1987

"Taste, hearing, sight, touch, smell. I want to express myself using all my feelings. This book can be interpreted as a set of sensations", says Michiko Kon.

The photographer builds her universe by combining food with everyday objects: The bra with kohada (spotted shad), tights filled with cabbage, the toothbrush garnished with salmon eggs, a vase with oysters, the fish surrounded by wool, the hanging shrimp sweater etc. This surreal world shows us the strength of the art of still life.

"The contrasts between dark and light values ​​make the eyes of the fish, which seem almost animated, shine. This bit of humor and provocation is supposed to stimulate our emotions. And on the cover again, it says "Do not show this book to children". If it is common, in France as in Japan, to warn children not to play with their food, the book is addressed to big children as adults and calls for the transgression of a ban now authorized."
