MENEAU, MARC AND HANS GISSINGER; HANS GISSINGER La Conversation / The Conversation
Meneau, Marc and Hans Gissinger. La Conversation / The Conversation. Two volumes, unpaginated, with b&w photographs. 4to, boards covered in wax paper, boxed. Phoenicia, Woodstock Editions, 2000. This book, an exchange in words and images between photographer Hans Gissinger and chef Marc Meneau, provides a sharp contrast to what is considered "food photography". The black and white images reveal the grisly process of haute cuisine; slaughtering animals, forcefeeding geese, stuffing sausages. Parallel to their meditation on food and its cultural significance are Gissinger's gripping photographs which find beauty, depth, and humanity in our relationship with what we eat and how it gets to the plate. Text in French and English. Limited to 2000 copies, this one is number 1463. Signed by Hans Gissinger.
