A black-clad model sprawls out over the minimal décor of Berlin’s Jüdische Mädchenschule, a former Jewish school for girls, in this unorthodox, fashion-infused celebration by French photographer Maxime Ballesteros, just in time for Hanukkah. Behind the Mädchenschule’s large and looming façade hides a center of fine art and finer dining in the German capital’s creative Mitte district, counting among its tenants contemporary galleries like Michael Fuchs and Eigen + Art Lab, as well as the elegant, Weimar era-inspired restaurant Pauly Saal, opened by the unstoppable team behind Berlin’s “it” restaurant, Grill Royal. Mogg & Melzer adds more casual grazing to the mix, bringing New York-style pastrami and brisket—often tragically hard to find in Western Europe—back to their continent of origin. Having graced the pages of i-D, Purple, Monocle and Sleek with his late-night shots of Berlin's art and fashion underbelly, here Ballesteros turns his candid, fetishistic approach towards the classics such as Matzo ball soup and pastrami reuben, in addition to modern takes on Hokkaido pumpkin with wild herbs and North African shakshuka. Meanwhile, his disembodied, stiletto-strapped subject teases the delectable spread into an object of desire. “The idea was to make the food inaccessible,” he says. “When you want something but can't have it, you want it more.”
