Standards & Classes

When I was growing up, I heard the sentence “How things should be”. many times, but who is actually defining how things should be, and what are those definitions based on? We measure, evaluate and judge – referring to the accepted norms and standards.
‘Standards & Classes’ deals with the definition of the cucumber and the question of how this seemingly simple fruit should be, taste and look like. In order to have the variety of two identical fruits in the supermarket, the once natural plant has to be controlled and corrected by science, technology and regulations.
