The Bricks of Your Home

In the history of mankind, every age and every culture has been celebrated around the “table”.

From the early Greek and Medieval celebrations, up to our recent history, the act of eating surpasses that of consuming, wherein the meal itself becomes the medium through which the human and other-than-human, the synthetic and the natural, come together in one plate.

Salt is present in every culture, sparking every conversation, bursting every emotion, but most importantly is part of every one of us both bodily and spiritually. This performative dinner aims to invite the guests to discover the presence of salt around them, within them and among them through the most routed act of housekeeping, that of eating together.

The bricks of your home aims to explore and highlight the importance of salt as a primary and necessary element, metaphorically connecting it with everyone’s food culture in order to narrate the direct link between the act of eating and home: nowadays living abroad is common for the younger generations for which the practice of preparing food represents a way of being Home away from Home. The event will be orchestrated around a series of special plates located directly on a set plane, creating a surreal landscape, and the guest will eat using the bricks as supports for the food.

Exact location will be revealed upon booking.
