From Chinese apples to Italian zucchini, this book presents an unexpected tour of the world. Starting from a fruit wholesaler in Northern Italy, Carlo Valsecchi embarked on a photographic journey that led him to catalogue over 160 varieties of fruit and vegetables. His straight and objective photographs offer an abstract yet colorful glimpse into a fascinating and tasty world. This encyclopedic series of pictures is also a reflection on globalization, its effects on the circulation of goods, our diet, and lifestyle. This book will appeal to gourmands and conceptual art buffs alike.
