1970年代頃からいくつかのコンセプチャルな写真集で知られているレス・クリムスことレスリー・ロバート・クリムスの初期四部作の内の一冊。なぜかパンツ1枚の裸で終始調理する彼の母親が、伝統的なチキンスープのレシピを写真と簡単なテキストで紹介するといった内容。写真はどこか可笑しみを誘うが、同時に冒頭の文章「Making Chicken Soup is dedicated to my mother, and also to all concerned photographers-both make chicken soup.」から、同世代の写真家を嘲笑うかのような風刺と悪戯心が込められている気がする。
This is one of the early tetralogy by Les Krims, also known as Leslie Robert Krims, who has been known for several conceptual photobooks since the 1970s. The book features his mother, who is inexplicably naked except for her underwear, cooking throughout, and presents a traditional chicken soup recipe with photographs and simple text. The photographs are somewhat humorous, but at the same time, the opening sentence, "Making Chicken Soup is dedicated to my mother, and also to all concerned photographers—both make chicken soup," seems to contain a satire and mischief that mocks photographers of his generation.
