01 MULTISPECIES
DINNER
Interactions between humans and marine animals, especially in the south of Italy, are heavily influenced by the local culinary tradition, which due to over-exploitment, poses a danger for some very important species for the habitat, so what can we do?

How to give agency to an endangered species? Many animals used to be elevated to symbols and for that venerated, respected or feared, this no longer happens around the southern italian coasts, however reclaiming this status for the musky octopus could grant him survival along with some other linked species.

03 Frisella Project
Finding ways to link cultures through food is always a good way to address or research about bigger societal issues and hidden stories. This project served exactly for that, as it quickly shifted from simple pop-up restaurant to a conversation stall where to trace stories of related recipes.

04 When yeast becomes your beast
Giving and taking life are two huge related concepts which have defined human laws and thinking since the birth of society, always creating categories within the realms of what can be sensed. In the case of mycelium, more specifically yeast, we have been its first mammal predators and at the same time domesticators, even its liveliness cannot be sensed if not on a molecular level. However, what if this role could be inverted?

05 Bread hunt
Hunting is still considered an environmentally-friendly practice all over the world and even used by some local administrations to keep wildlife in check and safeguard the habitat. While all of this seems unrelated to bread, this project explores the paradox between the heavily processed but constantly available foods, mainly related to carbs, and the loss of contact with naturally sourced foods through hunting and gathering, especially in certain parts of Europe.

06 Cocktails of tears
Tears are a peculiar substance that seems to mainly be featured in humans: a research upon the relationship between tear-formation and emotional statuses showed the amazing correlation between the secretion of tears, emotions and the sense of smell, suggesting that the chemical composition of each tear changes based on the mood that produced it, which was found to also prominently change the behavioral response of the person that smells it, even without seeing the other person crying.
