17/11/2020 Your Cupboards (Research)

what’s inside your kitchen cupboards?

I have been watching a lot of documentaries based on bread line families. Looking into their cupboards seems too be imagery that will portray the families economic and social status. Filming them putting away shopping after going to the food bank or talking about how they will provide a meal for that night.

Does the contents of your kitchen cupboard tell us more about the people who live there?

people with money have choice, with choice comes healthier options.

brands? own brand ?

empty or full?

could I display work here? could a cupboard be my work?

 

This engaged people in discussing the issue of child food poverty. They had questions surrounding why i wanted this image, as i explained my research they began to engage in a conversation. I questioned wether a headline would’ve had the same interaction as this. Although requesting these images seemed very random, it got participants to take time out of their daily lives of probably being blissfully ignorant of the issue to reflect upon it in a new way.

i enjoy the idea of getting the public to do something simple at their own homes that seems quite questionable however, provokes new thoughts and questioning. I want to challenge  the passive way we view or receive information.
