Las Papas

This is a bit wacky but we like it

Ginou Choueiri’s installation Potato Portraits has to be seen.

The artist says : ‘I chose the potato to portray human faces because of the many striking parallels.  Not only is their skin porous like ours, but their skin texture and color is very similar, and like us, they come in different sizes, shapes and forms.   Potatoes grow, live, and then decay, mirroring the ephemeral existence and fragility of our own human nature.”

Ginou is a Lebanese artist based in Beirut.
