Old Food

OLD FOOD explores mass consumption, both physical and digital, through our relationship with food. Artfully rendering humanity's insatiable appetite into pungent yet enthralling prose, Atkins portrays a world permeated with empty signifiers, replete with content yet increasingly devoid of meaning.
