You are what you eat! Food is not only a basic need, it is deeply intertwined with most aspects of our lives — as individuals and communities. Foam Magazine #63: FOOD! The Nourishing Issue looks at what we are made of, focusing on the ways food drives us apart, brings us together and moves us further — all at the same time.

One must keep one’s eyes and ears open, one must know how to match up the facts, see similarity where others see total difference, remember that certain events occur at various levels or, to put it another way, many incidents are aspects of the same, single occurrence. And that the world is a great big net, it is a whole, where no single thing exists separately; every scrap of the world, every last tiny piece, is bound up with the rest by a complex Cosmos of correspondences, hard for the ordinary mind to penetrate. That is how it works. Like a Japanese car.

Sagopalm as a symbol: Dinner with papeda

Foam werkt samen met cultuurplatform The Hmm voor een serie online lezingen. In 

 onderzoeken we hoe internetcultuur de verschillende lagen van de fotografie beïnvloedt en verandert - en zo het fotografische veld exponentieel uitbreidt. Hoe verandert onze relatie met het fotografische beeld door de culturele en technologische ontwikkelingen van het internet?

Deze online evenementenserie is bedoeld voor iedereen die nieuwsgierig is naar de evolutie van het fotografische medium in het digitale tijdperk. Ben je benieuwd naar de toekomst van online beeldcultuur? Doe mee en onderzoek het veranderende gezicht van fotografie in een wereld vol met beelden.

Photography is... surreal
