Common Foods Made to Look Like Vulvas in ‘Too Close’ Photo Series

You know what you’re looking at. While papayas and sandwiches don’t feel particularly naughty, Peter Kaaden makes our minds go there anyway, his clever images a cheeky take on the contemporary still life. Zu Nah (German for “Too Close”) is a racy series of absolutely banal objects, becoming strangely provocative with the appropriate – or inappropriate – perspective. The commercial photographer chooses to say very little about the concept, allowing the off-color conclusions to be entirely our own.

Zu Nah is part of the 2014 Vice Photo Issue.
