Spain´s Eleven is a collection of photographs dedicated to the iconic foods and wines of Spain. Originally commissioned by Foods and Wines of Spain, the exhibit was produced under the artistic direction of Manuel Estrada, one of Spain´s most prominent designers, and features works by a selection of Spanish food photographers.
Spain’s Eleven focuses on the regional character of the foods of Spain, the iconic products that have come to represent the regions where they are produced. The project is a celebration of nature and its fruits, as well as a public recognition of the people who have preserved the local traditions of food cultivation and production.
Spaniards’ longstanding tradition of naming foods after their regions of origin, a practice that was later institutionalized via the Denominations of Origin, is highlighted across the exhibition and draws further attention to the relationship between landscape and food, between nature and culture. From the simple Valencian orange to the intricate saffron from La Mancha, the exhibition provides an edible map of Spain, a guided tour of our land, its foods and its people.
An activity co-organized by Eat Spain Up! and SPAIN arts & culture in collaboration with Estrada Design. With the support of Secretaría de Cultura, Foods and Wines from Spain and Tourspain.
