Visual Hunger / Appétits visuels

Overview & Synopsis

The growing integration of food into media content and digital culture is transforming our perceptions of food, sustainability, and global food systems. Food now serves as a powerful tool for storytelling, fueling the rise of influencers, celebrity chefs, dedicated food channels, and broader cultural industries. This pervasive media presence reflects a pressing need to critically examine the visual and narrative appetite for food—how it is consumed, represented, and commodified across both local and global contexts.
