What does our fridge about us?
For three years, Mark Menjivar photographed 60 refrigerators people of 20 u.s. communities. The fascinating idea â€" which is part of a film project which aims to explore how the social subjects relate to feeding â€" led him to conclude that, in fact, you are what you eat."The more time spent listening to the stories of the people, more thought in the food we eat and the effects that this has on us as individuals, and in our community," explained Menjivar to the Splendid Table.The first photo, curiously, was his own fridge â€" that's when the idea began to take shape. "I discussed the idea as a project of portraits, so I invited people in which he was interested, for one reason or another, to participate", he stressed. Most people didn't know Mark, which eventually help the "veracity" of the project."They are portraits of rich and poor. Vegetarians, Republicans, members of the NRA (National Rifle Association, a North American Association pro-gun), people who have been left for back, dreamers, "he continued.The refrigerators were portrayed so raw â€" the photographer came to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and photographed. No food was placed or removed.See pictures below and, by order, meet some of the stories of the owners of refrigerators.1.
