'Foodscaper': The landscapes that look good enough to EAT|奇妙的食物造景 任何你看到的都可以吃


At a glance they look like images created by Hollywood CGI wizards – but they’re actually landscapes created entirely from food.

The incredible creations are the work of ‘foodscape’ artist Carl Warner, who makes them using sweets, fruits and vegetables – plus some pins and superglue.

猛一看,你可能還以為是出自哪個好萊塢電腦繪圖大師的作品,但它們真的全都是用「食物」建構出來的景象!

英國藝術家 Carl Warner,擅長用糖果、巧克力、蔬果等食物,做成色彩繽紛、奇幻逗趣的風景畫。Carl Warner 以別針和強力膠,搭造如同建築模型的立體食物造景,再用相機拍下。

What’s more, one of the scenes will be on display as a model, called 'Crockerville', it's a village created from over 2,000 cookies and chocolate rocky road that took three weeks to create. No doubt there will be signs warning the public not to touch – or eat.

此外,其中一座食物造景【餅乾村】的模型,也將被搬到現場展示。以2000片餅乾和巧克力為材料,耗費了三週時間才完成。無庸置疑地,旁邊還會貼有「請勿動手動口」的標語呢。
