Gabriele Galimberti: In Her Kitchen
In the organizer's words:
A photographic and culinary journey through the kitchens of the world
With "In Her Kitchen", Italian photographer Gabriele Galimberti (*1977) undertakes a photographic and culinary journey through the kitchens of the world. Created on the occasion of a reportage about couchsurfing, he photographed grandmothers in their home kitchens and with their favorite dishes. The 58 portraits document the universal language of food, family and hospitality in a very personal way. Wherever Galimberti spent the night as a couchsurfer, he asked his hosts to meet his grandmother, cook and eat with them. These encounters not only became approaches to sometimes unfamiliar ingredients and preparation techniques of the respective country's cuisine, but also reveal private insights into the high value that cooking can have as an expression of cultural identity, tradition and love - no matter in which country of the world you sit down to eat. Stylistically, the photographs for "In Her Kitchen" follow Gabriele Galimberti's idiosyncratic pictorial concept of portraits and accurately arranged objects. The focus is always on people, so that despite their formalist rigor, her photographs sensitively reveal the diverse spectrum of everyday human life.
"In Her Kitchen" will be accompanied by a catalog of the same name published by Nünnerich-Asmus-Verlag. The exhibition takes place as part of the large special exhibition Essen und Trinken. Journeys through Body & Time at the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museen Mannheim.
