Mark Menjivar is in your fridge, photographing your food
<< Back
You are what you eat Jun 03, 2009 at 03:25
Texas-based photographer Marc Menjivar has been sneaking into people's fridges and finding out that (like the bookcase) it tells a lot about a person but can also be pretty deceptive.

Manjivar's You Are What You Eat series of photographs is fascinating. The images themselves are intriguing and the viewer makes all kinds of assumptions about the owner but Manjivar has included little captions that often tell a different story. The artist says "These are portraits of the rich and the poor. Vegetarians, Republicans, members of the NRA, those left out, the under-appreciated, former soldiers in Hitler’s SS, dreamers, and so much more. We never know the full story of one's life."

Basically, who has a freezer full of red meat and tequila? We want to meet them.

I would like to meet the person who chills their fork. And the person who stores oranges with potatoes.

This has made me realise that I may be a control freak, or just hideously organised. Is there anyone else out there with a cheese/ spreads shelf, leftovers self, etc.... apparently I'm one organised refrigerator-er.

Unless you have your mustards alphabetised Pop'n'Fresh, you have a lot to learn.

True Respect

Maybe we should start a forum where we post snaps of our own fridges.

I agree with you M_tothe_IRO!! also we could do some sort of quizz, in which everyone had to guess how the owner looks like, acording to what they eat! You know like match the columns, between fridges and faceless owners.
False New Lounger
Definitely a snake in one. On the website it says that the owner is a short-order cook. I wonder what they're planning on making with it?
