Hannah Collins at the Fundación Suñol

From 6 July to 1 September 2012, Fundació Suñol hosted The Fragile Feast, a show by Hannah Collins (London, 1956). The exhibition comprised 250 photographs that also appeared in an engaging, highly detailed book by Hannah Collins, which explores the origins, handling and tastes of 30 ingredients used by Ferran Adrià, chef at elBulli restaurant. Spurred on by her close ties to Barcelona and Ferran Adrià, she embarked on a journey through Europe, Latin America and Japan to trace the origins of these ingredients and capture their mysterious essence. Along the way she took photographs and uncovered the distinctive memories of a series of unique culinary features in Ferran Adrià’s cuisine. A selection of 12 of these works was exhibited at Ivorypress in January 2012.
