The Beauty Of Rotting Food

Here are some gorgeous photographs of totally disgusting subject matter. It's Klaus Pichler's "One Third" photographic project, in which he photographs food in advanced—and I mean really advanced—stages of decay. As NPR said, "it's a feast for the eyes, even if it turns the stomach." The project, and its name, comes from the fact that Pichler wanted to bring attention to how much food we waste in the western world—almost a third of all food purchased. So he went to the grocery store and bought milk and cheese and various other items and proceeded to let them rot. Then he constructed polished advertising-style studio sessions with the disgusting results. The images present a great dichotomy: disgusting yet beautiful. And they definitely get the job done by making you think about waste in the your own person food stream.
