Thanks to Nicole for this. For anyone off to Europe this summer,  Hannah Collins' exhibition of films and photographs is in Barcelona until 1st September. 

"Hannah Collins’ developing journey got under way many years ago during her first visit to La Boqueria market in Barcelona. The sumptuously arranged produce and the broken line of different seasons on display spurred Hannah to explore the fragile relationships between growth, supply and consumption.

For The Fragile Feast she photographed sea anemones from Cádiz, kudzu from Japan, honey from nomadic bees in Italy and pine trees from the Pyrenees, amongst other raw materials, to reflect the process for preparing 35 dishes by the world-renowned Catalan chef. In doing so, these local delicacies are co-opted into a much wider culinary language that reveals nature’s elegance and wisdom in its creations and shows the creative transformation wrought by the alchemist chef who studies and combines them."
