ON THE COVER

BURP PHOTOGRAPHY brings home the bacon, er, bread with this intriguing still life. What even is happening in this radical departure for a Kitchen Table cover, and why does it also feel just right? BURP are Kris De Smedt and Erik Vernieuwe, partners in life and in art. They live in Germany. Sehr gut!
