Produced to Kill is a photographic series realized without using a camera; instead it is the result of a digital process of modelling and rendering in 3d design software.

The virtual camera investigates in images, the shapes and surfaces of specific molds used for the creation of serial mass produced foods and packagings for their use within fastfood chain restaurants.

Never revealing the objects in their entirety but in details and per fragments, the work portrays molds for the creation of objects of mass consumption ready-to-use and meant to be thrown immediately after their usage.

Addictive dishes and specific food-related diseases are veiled through different colour patterns within the series, according to the molds portrayed.
