Edible Images is a captivating film cycle by London-based Catalonian filmmaker Gerard Ortín Castellví, examining the interplay between food and aesthetic regimes. Spanning three works — Agrilogistics, Cold Route, and Future Foods — the cycle delves into the operational role of images in shaping our food production, distribution, and consumption systems.
From the automated landscapes of modern agriculture in Agrilogistics and the recursive interplay of visual and physical displacement in Cold Route, to the tantalizing fictional meals of Future Foods, Gerard’s oeuvre elegantly captures the sensorial experience connecting our eyes and stomachs, spotlighting how images build our culinary realities.
The screenings are held from 7 to 9 p.m. at Ocean Space in San Lorenzo and are free of charge.
