Yet instead of the meal awaiting an unseen viewer's consumption, as in a classic still life, Laura Letinsky photographs what remains on the table after the food has been eaten, leaving only crumbs, melon rinds, a cantaloupe pocked with rot and a half-finished lollipop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLetinsky explores the inextricable relationship between ripeness and decay, delicacy and clumsiness, waste and plenitude, pleasure and sustenance. The influence of Dutch-Flemish and Italian still-life paintings—whose exacting beauty documented shifting social attitudes resulting from exploration, colonization, economics, and ideas about seeing as a kind of truth—can be seen here as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eAfter All\u003c\/i\u003e, Letinsky explores photography's transformative quality, changing what is typically overlooked into something splendid in its resilience.
