Slices of Life
This book, edited with the anthropologist Petro Vereni, is a collection of life stories, photographic portraits by Ottavia Castelliona, and at the same time a cookbook. It was driven by the attempt to create “urban antropophagy” where the meeting with the other is sealed by the possibility to eat one of their memories (a dish related to their experience). Feeding on stories.
Five months of interviews in the capital of England, the M25 ring road being the only border.

Elia Romanelli, Piero Vereni, Ottavia Castellina
