Enrica Borghi

Amare…

She is famous above all for her works using recycled plastic, but Enrica Borghi also creates photographs known as Fetish Food, featuring lace, earrings, knickers, fishnet stockings, cooked pears, chicken thighs and little pastries. The dress which she has created on this occasion for her Amarena desserts is made of black lace. In the background we can see the inevitable blue and white jar. The title plays on the contradiction, in Italian, between the verb and the plural adjective: amare [“to love” or “bitter”]. However, thanks to the suspension dots, we know that all we need is a few more letters to turn that word into a commo name, ours: Amarena.
