Renowned art director and stylist Camilla Wordie is set to captivate audiences with a new exhibition Eat to Live or Live to Eat, opening this May at Feelium Gallery. Turning traditional still life and portraiture on its head to create a new ‘food portrait’, this is a playful exploration of our intricate relationship with food – a universal love language understood by all.
In this exhibition, Camilla Wordie will be interviewing ten individuals across different industries, including artists, designers, shop owners, and storytellers; some who hate to cook, others who love to eat and those who are meticulous about their weekly shop. They will sharing their top ten ingredients, from weekly food shops to Saturday night takeaways in the ultimate artistic challenge that will capture their characters, stories and relationship with food.
Colour, form and texture are fused together through a series of captivating still-life photographs, with each food portrait photographed by a different photographer, including the likes of lifestyle photographer Emma Lee and portrait genius Dunja Opalko. Together they ask the question, “Do you eat to live or live to eat?”
