Artist Ju Duoqi loves to play with her food by using vegetables to re-create famous historical scenes and form familiar self-portraits. Carefully chosen and painstakingly positioned by Ju, potatoes, ginger root, tofu, cabbage, onions and cucumbers all come to life as actors instead of eats.
Ju’s first foray into vegetable art started with the creation of a fabulous ensemble made of several kilograms of peas in 2006. Over the next two years, she frequently scoured local markets in search of subjects to play starring roles in her Vegetable Museum, a collection of photographs based on world-renowned paintings.
