Artist Christopher Boffoli Unveils Fantastical New Larger-Than-Life Food Landscapes!

When we first saw <a href="http://bigappetites.net/" target="_blank">Christopher Boffoli</a>’s fantastical food photographs in his <a href="http://inhabitat.com/christopher-boffolis-edible-larger-than-life-landscapes-encourage-us-to-play-with-our-food/" target="_blank">“Big Appetites” series</a> we were pretty astounded; each of his incredible tableaus transform everyday foods into epic landscapes, skewing the perspective into a world akin to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulliver's_Travels" target="_blank">Gulliver’s Travels</a>. Boffoli recently shared his latest imaginative edible landscapes with Inhabitat - read on for a first look!

<a href="http://inhabitat.com/matthew-cardens-fantastical-food-photographs-pay-tribute-to-the-bounty-we-eat/" target="_blank">Food photographers</a> have the challenging job of making food look enticing and delicious.

Boffoli pushes outside the box, almost magically turning each morsel into an exciting challenge that miniature characters must face.

Using a macro lens, the artist effectively tackles the arduous task of rendering the proportions of the bite sized bits into elements of a <a href="http://inhabitat.com/bolivias-salar-de-uyuni-salt-flat-is-the-worlds-largest-mirror/">larger than life landscape</a>.

By doing so, the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/diy-six-yummy-organic-pumpkin-recipes/" target="_blank">breakfast table</a> becomes an adventure. Characters jump over the canyons of a toaster, after crossing peaked bready hills.

Animal crackers burst out of their caravans, while soccer players kick around a white peppercorn next to a field of multi-colored granules.

Like a scene from Gulliver, four uniformed men attempt to control a <a href="http://inhabitat.com/diy-how-to-make-a-last-minute-salvador-dali-lobster-telephone-costume-in-just-30-minutes/" target="_blank">lobster-sea monster</a> on the smooth plank of a cutting board, the delicacy becoming a prehistoric beast instead of a fancy dinner.

With his fine tuned skill of juxtaposition, Boffoli’s imagery aren’t just <a href="http://inhabitat.com/feast-on-fantastical-food-art-landscapes-for-thanksgiving/">fun food photos</a>, but also draw attention to the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/nyc/photos-canstruction-takes-over-the-world-financial-center-with-sculptures-made-from-canned-goods/" target="_blank">notion of bounty</a>. His images call to mind the excess of food in America, with some with enough food to play with, while others don’t have enough to satiate their families.

Boffoli’s images are incredible to behold online, but even more striking in person. Lucky fans in New York can see them in person at <a href="http://www.winstonwachter.com/" target="_blank">Winston Wachter Fine Art </a>until August 24^th, in <a href="http://www.flaere.com" target="_blank">London at Liberty In Regent Street </a>throughout the summer, or this fall at Art Platform Los Angeles, Toronto International Art Fair and a group show in Seattle.
