Strange Fruits is a series of clever conceptual photographs by German photographer Sarah Illenberger. Each photo shows a common fruit or vegetable that has been arranged to look like some other object or material.

An eggplant is sliced open to reveal wood within. Beets are cut like a gem. Fruit salad is arranged in the shape of a Rubik’s Cube.
