AFTER TASTE
The first closeness dictates the rules, giving guidance in building further relationship scenarios. For each of us, the first contact with the world begins with eating (feeding), which settles as the first most important experience, serving as a basis for further relationship with the world and ourselves. Research shows that people perceive food sharing as an important indicator of intimacy, friendship and love, as a means to create or increase it. When offering food, the giver tries not only to reduce the recipient's negative reaction, but also his own.
The table becomes an area where we meet to take and give. It is a stage - each has its own scenography, which decodes the story of the relationship between the people present.
When documenting the tables after a meal at the home of my native family, I want to delve into the question of the content of the relationship, looking at food as a metaphor for intimacy.
