👁️ Pop Sonality is glad to bring you “Junk Food Gourmet” by @giusatriani, a stunning eye-opener series that reflects on the consumption of junk food and the consequences on our health, mind and body. It’s so revealing! I hope it touches you and makes you think about your relation with this No-Food at all and what is causing you physically and mentally. It is limiting you. Eating no real food is the biggest problem!
The idealistic fighter Giuseppe Satriani positively states: Obesity is the true pandemic, the world’s deadliest disease. In fact, more than 2.8 million people die every year because of obesity. The consumption of junk food is linked to obesity, diabetes, heart attacks, strokes and hypertension. Childhood obesity seems to be always more a question of social class: in families with an annual income of less than 18,000 euros, 23.6% of children are obese, while in families with a rent of more than 30,000 euros per year, this ratio is reduced to 10.9%. Thanks mainly to the messages launched by the very powerful global mass food companies, which care nothing about the health of their peers, junk food has already reached a privileged status in our society; for many people, eating junk food reinforces the state of belonging to a “cool” community; for others it is the only way to make ends meet; for many others, it is the fastest way to solve situations in which the desire to cook is lacking because there is always something more important to do.
Junk Food Gourmet series has been conceived to denounce the harassment to which we are subjected to take junk and cheap products as the solution to our needs. I do it by presenting junk food as the main course of a haute cuisine menu served in luxurious restaurants or aristocratic houses. I wanted to align the status that junk food has in our society with the concept of haute cuisine that used to be associated with specially prepared dishes, elegantly presented. It is the degradation of haute cuisine and the exaltation of junk food that find a balance in the visual representation of my images.

I am a curious of life with idealistic tendencies and a fighter, that tries to keep aligned what I live with what I feel. Born in Italy but moved years ago to Bilbao, I work as IT consultant. As a child I would have liked to paint, but my skills prevented him; photography allowed me to channel the creative flow. Masters like: Franco Fontana, Larry Fink, Joan Fontcuberta, Pilar Pequeño, Juan Pablo De Miguel, allowed me to put technique at the service of thought and intentionality.
