Action Photo, after Hans Namuth (from Pictures of Chocolate)
A photograph recreating Hans Namuth's iconic image of Jackson Pollock painting, rendered entirely in chocolate syrup by Brazilian artist Vik Muniz. The work belongs to Muniz's *Pictures of Chocolate* series, in which he meticulously constructs reproductions of famous images using the sweet, viscous material before photographing them. The resulting chromogenic print challenges the viewer's perception of representation, materiality, and the mythology surrounding Abstract Expressionism.
