An art research book consisting of three booklets exploring the perception of planets and food. It comes with an art film that, when placed over the cover, transforms Earth into coffee through mimicry.
Booklet Details
① Delicious Planets
An illustrated book of celestial bodies disguised as food. At first glance, it appears to be an art book of food photography, but in reality, all images are NASA celestial photos (Public Domain) with altered colors. For example, when Earth is shifted to a reddish-brown hue, its clouds resemble milk, revealing an alternate perspective where Earth appears as coffee.
② Delicious Planets (Black & White)
In contrast to the first booklet, this volume reimagines food as planets, visualizing a new perspective on everyday ingredients. By placing common food items on a black background and photographing them in black and white, they take on the appearance of celestial bodies.
③ Moon & Earth
A realism-based work featuring large-format photographs of the Moon and Earth, depicted as fried eggs. The images are divided across pages, allowing viewers to explore the details of their landscapes and place names as they flip through. As the scale shifts, the perspectives of celestial bodies and eggs intertwine.
④ Earth Coffee
An art film that transforms the cover of Delicious Planets into coffee. The original cover features an image of Earth, but when the film is placed over it, Earth’s clouds take on the appearance of milk swirling in coffee.
惑星と食品の知覚をめぐる、3冊の冊子からなるアートリサーチブック。表紙に重ねることで地球がコーヒーに擬態するアートフィルムが付属します。
【各冊子の詳細】
①Delicious Planets
食品に擬態する天体写真の図鑑。一見すると食品のアートブックに見えますが、すべて実際の食品ではなく、色変換したNASAの天体写真（Public Domain）です。たとえば、地球は赤茶色に変えることで、その雲がミルクに見え、コーヒーとしての別視点が浮かび上がります。
②Delicious Planets （白黒）
先のDelicious Planetsとは逆に食品を惑星に見立て、食品の別視点を可視化しています。日常で目にする食品を黒い台紙に置き、白黒で撮影することで、惑星のような表情が生まれます。
③ Moon&Earth
目玉焼に見立てた月と地球の大判写真を分割し、ページをめくることで地形や地名の細部を見渡すリアリズム的作品。スケールの変化と共に、天体と玉子の視点が交差します。
④Earth Coffee
①の表紙をコーヒーに変えるアートフィルム。その表紙には地球が描かれていますが、フィルターを重ねることで、地球の雲がコーヒーのミルクのように見えてきます。
