Free the Celeree
Antwerp 2016 — publication, edition of 15
found material, rings, vacuumed plastic
Concept, image collection: Elena Aya Bundurakis
Edit & design: with Thibault Lastra
Free the Celeree is an internet-born collection of natural food items from around the world, that have been transformed into membranous objects, inviting an uncanny peeling ritual to access what lies beneath. From strawberries nested in soft polyfoam, to algorithmically packed Amazon produce deliveries, and a group portrait of shrimps, each jpg. reflects the absurd intimacy of contemporary food consumption.
These objects become icons of the careplastic era : hyper-curated, vacuum-sealed offerings of convenience, they embody the strange tensions between what is real care and waste, abundance and artificiality. Arranged in categorical clusters and sealed in pages like shrink-wrapped specimens, the viewer is invited to unpack them.

Mango skin
behind foam net;
veiled sunset.

Glisters in the dark
like the August moon,
my packaged pomelo!
