Exhibition curated by Deborah Klochko & Marisa Caichiolo.

Castro invites prominent chefs of Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California, Mexico,  Javier Plascencia, Ryan Steyn, Drew Deckman, Karla Navarro, Giannina Galvadon, Bianca Castro, Monica Palafox and Hugo D’Acosta among others to pose in a series of photographs creating a gratifyingly tense dialogue about human nature.

 

“The creative impulse is universal whether one is cooking or making a photograph.”

Deborah Klochko

 

“Castro delights us with this body of work about hedonism/self indulgence, pleasure and self gratification. He deftly illustrates how sensual and decadent the creative act of cooking can be, through the connection to every aspect of our lives. From birth to death to table, he makes us feel skin upon skin, the fat in her fire, the salt on the tongue....”
