One image shows how a rotund man, undressed and marked as livestock might be divided into cuts of meat. Each area on the man's body is stamped with the name of a different food brand. Another illustration depicts a view from above of a man sitting down to eat. Rather than food, his plate contains an [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henri-matisse-x-casetify) with a picture of a steak and vegetables. This thought-provoking Colette Paris show by Jean Jullien skewers some of the strange habits people have when it comes to food. It exposes the oddities of the web of relationships between [food, technology, commerce, animals and people](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/satellite-exhibition). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Satirical Food Illustrations:** This trend highlights the potential for artists to use satire to explore cultural attitudes towards food. - **Examining Relationships with Food:** This trend shows the importance of understanding and questioning the complex connections between food, technology, commerce, animals, and people. - **Reflection on Modern Tendencies:** This trend encourages reflection on the strange habits and idiosyncrasies surrounding food consumption in modern society. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** Artists can disrupt the conventional understanding of food culture by using satire and visual storytelling techniques. - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can benefit from examining cultural attitudes towards food and exploring how technology and commerce intersect with consumption. - **Technology:** There is an opportunity for the technology industry to innovate and create new experiences that rethink the relationship between food and digital devices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Health Object Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/out-of-orifice.md) - [Unconventional Foodie Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-magazine.md) - [Surreal Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery.md) - [Food-Inspired Brand Imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooking-clases-barcelona-venue.md) - [Realistic Food Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantlers-rations.md) - [Industrial Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sized.md) - [Future-Facing Food Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-food-menu.md) - [Modern Design-Exploring Art Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pratone-chair.md)
