These photographs of candy wrappers by Chad Gerth make explicit the difference between our physical reality and the fiction of the plane. Though meant to wrap around candy, these plastic and foil wrappers are actually 2-dimensional surfaces. As they lose their intended shape, they gain new significance as objects of consumption and seduction.
