The Los Enchilados photo project is a kind of essay exploring the roots of Mexican food culture, which is distinguished by the incredible sharpness of dishes. In Mexico, there is nowhere without hot pepper. There are 64 types of chili peppers. Hot pepper and tortilla are the main ingredients in the gastronomic art of Mexico, as well as bread and wine in France.
Eating hot peppers is a way to gain respect in Mexico. Chile is a metaphor for how Mexicans react to risk. This is an opportunity to show courage. Mexicans not only take this tradition seriously, they enjoy it.
For the Los Enchilados photo series, which is an opportunity to see a piece of real Mexicans, the photographer asked the models to eat as much habanero pepper as they could. In 1999, habanero was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the hottest pepper in the world. On people's faces you can see not only the reaction to the burning pain, but also pleasure.
