"The Universe is nothing without the things that live in it, and everything that lives, eats" wrote Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin in the preamble to his 1825 Physiology of Taste, or Meditations on Transcendental Gastronomy. Brillat-Savarin suggested that the forgotten tenth Muse was Gasterea, who presided over all the pleasures of taste. The feast of superb imagery related to both eating and the edible certainly attests to the possibility of such inspiration. And so inspired, for the first time Aperture serves up food . . . for thought. Here you'll find mouth-watering photographs by Bruce Davidson, Nan Goldin, Horst, Barbara Kruger, Sally Mann, Robert Mapplethorpe, Sylvia Plachy, Cindy Sherman, Nick Waplington, Andy Warhol, William Wegman . . . and more! Accompanying these treats are interviews with fifteen great cooks and chefs, including: Rose Levy Beranbaum, Daniel Boulud, Julia Child, Marcella and Victor Hazan, Nobu Matsuhisa, and Wolfgang Puck.

The work presented in Aperture's third "On Location" issues reveals that we live in a constant state of transformation, that the naming of things does not make them any more tangible, that the "decisive moment" is over before it begins, and that the "fixative" nature of photography makes it marvelously complicit in its paradoxical relationship with the world.
