He remembers his childhood days, when living in an adult world made everything else look relatively large, and how movies like 'Honey, I Shrunk The Kids' gave a very dramatic effect. So for his project he decided to bring together elements like toys and food together.
"They are the most common things in just about every culture in the world. And I think that quality makes it readily accessible to just about anyone, regardless of language or background." shares Boffoli in an interview with us.
Through his work Boffoli not only tries to bring out the child within us and activate our imagination, he also aims to highlight America and its relationship with food.
"Our relationship with food can be complex. For decades, Americans have had broad access to an embarrassment of riches on supermarket shelves. And as such we often take that bounty for granted. But scarcely a century ago, a bunch of bananas or a pint of strawberries in the middle of winter were rare and exotic treats. Contemporary America not only has a huge range of exotic foods year-round, but we have cable television networks that broadcast nothing but shows about cooking and food. Some offer merely the spectacle of bizarre foods from distant cultures or competitions in which the audience root for their favorite chefs based on personality, but never having tasted or smelled a morsel of food. Beautifully photographed, glossy magazines offer us features on the farms and vineyards that supply our tables while endless cookbooks offer us everything from easy-to-follow cake recipes to the sous vide, alginate-laden masterpieces of top chefs, their dishes plated intricately like edible Faberge eggs."
