SUB STANDARD

Golden Apple
JANUARY 2010

Many fruits and vegetables fail the usual aesthetical sale and marketing standards and are binned as socalled sub-standard goods. This otherwise flawless apple would have certainly shared the same fate. As a sign of protest against western greed for oversupply and perfection the cloven fruit is dipped in gold: Will this re-establish its attractivity?

Technique:

  1. Digital close-up photo
  2. Digital finishing with manual color and tone value corrections for achieving the gold effect

Dimensions:

24 x 32 cm
