Tavolo, Tavola

  • Photographer
    Kira Crugnale, United States

    Silver Winner in Zines And Photo Book/Culture

Tavolo, Tavola explores the fluctuating gender dynamics associated with the word "table" which, in Italian, changes depending on its state: tavolo, the masculine, referring simply to the object itself, and tavola, the feminine, when set or otherwise prepared for a meal. Fascinated by the implications of this linguistic shift, Tavolo, Tavola seeks to question the idiosyncrasies of language through photographic observation and prompt reflection on the cultural importance of shared dining.
