New photo series turns The Shining into delectable, edible treats

Considering all the ills facing the Torrance family in Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining, at least food was in plentiful supply. This bedeviled family has 99 problems, one might say, but a brunch ain’t one. A good chunk of the film’s first act is given over to a sequence in which gregarious chef Dick Hallorann (Scatman Crothers) tells naive, vulnerable Wendy Torrance (Shelley Duvall) all about the tasty comestibles stored in the voluminous storage room of the Overlook Hotel. Perhaps that scene was the true inspiration for All Food And No Play, a collaborative art project by photographer Davide Luciano and food stylist Claudia Ficca in which moments from The Shining are cunningly translated into culinary delights.
