Messages In A Bottle: Mæt Series By Per Johansen
Mæt means "full" in Danish, and it's also the name of a series of photographs by Per Johansen which address mass consumption, excessive greed and endless consumerism in society. The artist stuffed everything from sausage to brussels sprouts in synthetic containers and placed them in front of a drab beige backdrop. At a glance, the images appear to be harmonious and balanced, but look closer: the gross, raw qualities surface, revealing a sublime image that exposes beauty in decay.
