Cake Holes
This is a project exploring the strange underbelly of food and eroticism. When we first set up Bompas & Parr as a company, one of the first calls we got was an inquiry about wether we catered for splosh parties. Innocently we looked online to see what this might involve – to find a seamy scene were folks get turned on by sitting in puddles of baked beans. This exchange provided the inspiration for a series of photos of people sitting on cakes, in collaboration with fashion photographer Jo Duck. The photos are paired with a sensual and luxurious film by Bompas & Parr, both are alarming but intriguing. Each participant chose their own dessert to sit on then filled out a detailed questionnaire ranging from more mundane questions about the favourite dishes to how they would solve the greatest challenges to humanity today.
