Literally Balanced Meals are Pretty, Precarious

It would seem the art world has a knack for showing off literal food-photography. First this “tying the knot” business and now a “balanced diet” from stylist Elena Mora and photographer Karsten Wegener. Impressively, being literal means not only are the photographed meals fairly inclusive in terms of food groups, but they’re also balanced, as in a poorly-timed sneeze could send your dinner over the edge.

The series is called “The Ricettario: A Balanced Diet” (ricettario means “cookbook” in Italian) and is meant to examine the ingredients in salmon, minestrone, apple pie, and pizza margherita. Although, we think it looks more like a physics experiment of the tastiest variety.
