Totally love this project by Zak Kitnick, “COMPENDIUM.” The campy (but, admittedly delicious looking) gourmet posters can be seen as a sort of anachronistic Google image search page. Seeing them assembled together removes them yet another degree from their native habitats of suburban kitchens and dining rooms. Once (and I’m just talking about 10 or 15 years ago), a cornucopia of exotic fruits and mushrooms like these would have been hard to imagine together in one spread. I like how these posters – assembled together – subtly suggest a similar absurdity to the endless selection of foodstuffs we can find at any Whole Foods today.
