Food ART

French cuisine is famous worldwide, not only for its taste, but also for its harmonious colours and shapes in the presentation.  As the French would often say: "C'est tout un art (It's an art)!" And no wonder there is a Festival International de la Photographie Culinaire (FIPC or International Culinary Photography Festival) that is coming to Paris this Friday.  The theme of this 3rd edition of FIPC is Street Food and with the renown French nomadic cuisine chef Thierry Marx as the patron of this edition, you will be surprised to see how photographers use their creativity to present street food which is normally not considered as gastronomy, through different cultures and countries from 120 photographies.  The festival kicks off this Saturday October 28th through November 13th.  The photos can be seen at three locations around the city:

Espace Mobalpa

15 boulevard Diderot 75012 PARIS
