Cristiana Cott Negoescu: Disgusted but Still Very Hungry
Over the last century, the fishing industry has changed dramatically, replacing the individual fisherman and his boat with a fleet of floating fish factories. The industrialisation of small and medium-sized enterprises has not only put fishermen out of work, but has also affected their social ecosystem. This change has been driven by increasing demand from wealthy economies around the world. Cristiana Cott Negoescus' work deals with this change and its consequences without pointing a finger at consumers, but tries to paint a picture of where food actually comes from and how it is processed. When it comes to seafood, we tend to consume highly processed foods that are not only unhealthy but also massively impact our environment through their production.
This work seeks to reveal the hidden tragedy in the farming of our food and the struggle of fish to escape their greatest predator: the seafood connoisseur.
