Welcome to your personal world tour of feel-bad visualisations about life on the poverty line. Photographer Stefen Chow and economist Lin Hui-Yi measure it in food. Each shot features a country’s local edibles, just as much as the average poor person can buy a day: 3.28 Chinese yuan of buns, 1,284 Malagasy ariary of dried fish, 4.82 euros of German gummy bears.
It’s very much like Jonathan Blaustein’s $1 dollar in various edibles series, but a little exotic, a lot more varied, so maybe you’re a little more detached and aesthetically entertained, you heartless, heartless you.
