The Largest Exhibition of Twenty-First Century Southern Photography

Finger-Lickin’ Good, 2007

Photograph by Susana Raab

From the Consumed: Fast Food in the United States series
London, Kentucky

Susana Raab, who lives in Washington, D.C.,  snapped this photograph during the Colonel Sanders look-alike contest at the annual World Chicken Festival. “It’s almost like seeing three Santa Clauses,” Sloan says. John T. Edge, who wrote an essay about “cloaking and costuming” in the South to accompany this shot for the catalogue, reminds viewers that “Sanders pivoted from selling gasoline and fried chicken to selling conceits rooted in antebellum fantasies.”
