secret lives of fruits and vegetables | Maciek Jasik

The photographer Maciek Jasik is captivated by ‘The Secret Lives of Fruits and Vegetables’, and reported all in a recent still life series. The thick exteriors of produce are punctured, allowing vibrant smoke to spill out and billow into mysterious clouds of colour. The juxtaposition of hue is beautiful and each photograph creates a surreal, magical little world where one can truly believe that an eggplant or a carnival squash has a secret life beyond the grocery store bin. This series aims to reintroduce the mystical, invisible qualities to fruits and vegetables that have been lost amidst the clamor of nutritional statistics. The mysterious, multicolored mist creates an unexpected and surreal scenario, where the insides of ordinary fruits and vegetables are vaguely unknown.
