Apetitos de Familia
The “feast” of the slaughtered swine has persisted up to our own days in the rural zones of Latin America and Europe. Such rites are performed in and by the congregation. The family –as a core emblem of union, of the notion of a people, of community– comes together on the occasion of this performance that gets replicated year after year. As recreated in Apetitos de Familia, the blood, the slaughtering, the extirpation of innards, the making of sausages, the scenes of a familiar congregation with their physical expressions of affection, all of those are proven to be part of the western iconography of the still life.
