Chromatic Diet

In a 1997 photo series called “The Chromatic Diet,” Sophie Calle set out to create a meal each day only using ingredients of the same hue. The project is a directly meta response to author Paul Auster's Leviathan, in which the protagonist (based on Calle) performs this very eating ritual.

Choose a specific hue to interact with everyday for a week in a different way than you normally would. Document.
