In the period leading up to the November 3, 2020 elections in the
United States, Teju Cole began to photograph his kitchen counter in
Cambridge, Massachusetts. Working in the still life tradition of
Chardin, Cezanne, and the Dutch masters, as well as such
contemporary photographers as Laura Letinsky and Jan Groover, he
photographed every day over the course of five weeks. Unlike those
illustrious forbears, Cole left his arrangements entirely to
chance, “the bowls and plates moving in their unpredictable
constellations.” What emerges is a surprising portrait, across
time, of one kitchen counter in one home at a time of social,
cultural, and political upheaval. Alongside the photographs is a
long written essay, as wide-ranging in its concerns—hunger,
fasting, mourning, slavery, intimacy, painting, poetry and the
history of photography—as the photographs are delimited in
theirs. The text and photographic sequences are interspersed with
an anonymous handwritten eighteenth century cookbook from
Cambridge. Golden Apple of the Sun is a luminous and humane work,
presented with the formal boldness and oblique intelligence we have
come to expect from Teju Cole.
