Mexico’s Museum of Popular Art (MAP) opened an exhibit on Saturday, Aug. 6, of pictures painted by artist Gina Salazar, who has made it her life’s work to capture images of junk food and other everyday items consumed around the world.

The exhibit, titled “Mirar lo Inadvertido” (“Seeing the Unnoticed”), is intended to draw attention to the global hyper-consumption of unhealthy foods and their impact on mass industrialization and waste.

“Mirar lo Inadvertido” will remain on display at the MAP through Sept. 25.

The museum is located at Calle Revillagigedo 11 in Mexico City’s Colonia Centro, and is open to the public from Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6p.m.

There is an 60-peso admission fee.
