Project Detail

Black White and Green

Synopsis

Inside a traditional London eel and pie house, solitary diners meditate upon their steaming dinners, each glimpsing a personal landscape within the food on the plate.

Black White and Green uses a mixture of 'live' action and computer-generated imagery to transform humble food into the terrain of a world in miniature.
