Are we what we eat? This could be the question behind the work of Enora Latat, a young photographer and visual artist from Bordeaux (France) who has built a visionary universe of portraits in which food is central.
Over the past five years, she has worked on Cooking Faces project: an ironic photographic series of eccentric portraits in which faces are decorated with food. The result is an explosion of colourful and crazy pictures straddling anthropologic investigation, food photography and artistic performance.
Enora Latat’s passion for travel, body painting and food converge in these irreverent pictures, in which the French artist uses ingredients from all over the world in an inventive way. Her work has an anthropological dimension, taking inspiration from her trips and from traditions and masks.
Take a trip into the artist’s eccentric universe with this selection of pictures from Cooking Faces. Enjoy!
