Seasons is a series of twelve prints and functions as a calendar of seasonal food. Each print shows a fruit or a vegetable that is in season that month or from that month on. October is represented by chestnut, printed on blue paper with white, red and green inks. Instead of using the guillotine, each print was trimmed by hand. The torn ragged edges show the original color of the paper.
Availability of prints is based on the availability of the produce they depict in the local shop where I usually buy food. If the food is not available, the print is "out of season" as well. The fruits and vegetables were chosen by the seasonal cycles in Ljubljana, with the exception of December, represented by the Japanese seasonal citrus Dekopon.
All the prints were made by Gal Šnajder at his newly established print house Čiračara in Maribor, Slovenia. Each print is signed and numbered in a limited edition of 15.
