Food Display

The spice display at Essex Street Market, certainly makes me want to buy some..


Fish in a styrofoam ice box covered with plastic


Crabs in a wooden basket with a black trash bag, not the cleanest way to store them..gets you thinking about where your fish has been before you eat it.


Poor turtles, here's one trying to escape the confinement of his plastic crate.


Dried Mushrooms, I never thought the dried variety tasted nearly as good as the fresh...but they obviously keep much longer...


To be honest, I'm not even sure what these are, but they certainly look very much like the fossils you studied in middle school.


Assorted dried fish in Chinatown, yuck!

Papabubble - homemade Barcelona based treats


This is a different sort of display -- it sure is food display, just in the process of being cooked. In case you can't figure out what that is, it is funnel cake!


Yummy cheese display on the Ile St. Louis in Paris -- placing this cheese display in the store's window, obviously lures consumers inside the shop for a delectable morsel.



These photographs are meant to examine the manner in which display figures into a consumer's relationship with food and what exactly the meaning of display does to the food products themselves. A wide range of foods and displays figure in to this idea.
