‘Fingerprints
of Drinkable Culture’ is a series by Phoenix, Arizona-based photographer William
LeGoullon who looks at the world’s top five most-consumed man-made beverages
(tea, beer, coffee, wine and cola) as scientific specimens.
About his
series, he writes:
‘My latest
works express my fascination with beverages, the variety of methodical
processes through which we craft them, and the detailed makeup of each liquid
we drink. Stemming from my work as both an artist and as a barista and
bartender, my interest is in concocting a recipe of beverage culture, art, and
science with regard to what we as humans consume. I am continually inspired by
observing what has been left behind and the clues that inspire examination. In
this series, I treat the world’s top five most consumed man-made beverages like
scientific specimens, allowing each liquid sample to dry before photographing
them using a microscope. The resulting images provide us with a chance to
analyze these fingerprints of drinkable culture as an act of art consumption.’
