Küchendienst By Max & Nikita

We are Küchendienst Collective (Nikita and Max), both photography longterm students and interested in documentary photography. Spending most of the time in our shared flat kitchen, we are chatting about photography projects and the newest inspirations. We started the Küchendienst project with some staged pictures. Our kitchen soon became our studio. One day we decided to cook a pretty tasty potato soup. We searched for the pot and found it at the balcony and there was something inside of it. It was blue, yellow and sweating. We were fascinated of its visual appearance, before throwing the moldy spaghetti away, we took some pictures of them as a joke. After seeing the results, we decided to continue our documentation of things which once used to disgust us. The most obvious side of mold is that its disgusting, unhealthy and ugly. But after we discovered the other side of the mold, we looked at it with the new eyes. We saw the geometry, strange colors and forms and a certain astethic.
