the psychedelic, hallucinatory animated feature film ‘yellow submarine’ took the year 1968 by storm. based on the hit song by the beatles, the movie follows john, paul, george and ringo down a rabbit hole of cartoon characters, sea of monsters, and surreal scenarios.
in homage to both the musicians and the movie, brooklyn-based food artist henry hargreaves has completed the ‘jello submarine’ series out of edible, colored gelatin. ‘I’ve always enjoyed toying with people’s expectations when it comes to food,’ hargreaves says. ‘here, viewers might be fooled into thinking they’re looking at a 2D illustration of the beatles’ yellow submarine — but upon closer inspection, they’ll realize the reflective color blocks are, in fact, made entirely of jello.’ stained-glass like panes of set liquid gel form portraits of paul mccartney, john lennon, george harrison and ringo starr, as well as a group shot featuring all four followed by a colorful cast of creatures.
