The Juicy Food Porn Gallery
A Food Porn Gallery inside an oven.
A roaming exhibition of food photography and video art.
People put their head inside an oven to see the art and get a selfie.
The oven gathers public submissions and exhibits new pieces as it goes from city to city. The content shown will be a rapid selection of different video and gifs related to a monthly food porn theme. There is no order in which to view the works so each guests experience will be different. Juicy Food Porn Gallery explores the cultural implications of the way we present food in the Internet age.
There are more than 60 million photos tagged with #foodporn on Instagram according to Wired including food reflecting cultures, calories, preparation, and presentation. Food porn is experienced globally and is a powerful communication tool. Thus Food Porn serves as a medium for generating experiences.
Peep Shows, aka peep box trace back to ancient times and are recognized within various cultures. Traditionally a peep show was a wooden box with a hole containing a set of pictures. This Food Porn Gallery experience takes the form of a peep show inside an oven booth.
It may seem like a radical idea but why can’t an oven be a gallery. This is a space to show food photography, gifs and video art from the internet. The goal is to engage and surprise the audience. It encourages people to see art and see themselves in art. #artselfie.
Not only will we invite makers of some of the webs most striking food imagery to exhibit but also those who simply can’t eat without taking a picture first! Everyone has a chance to be a part of the show and by creating a mobile gallery it allows us to accentuate and celebrate the positive locally. This gallery will be an informal traveling archive for the genre of food porn.
