A series of portraits by Mark Menjivar made by examining the interiors of refrigerators in homes across the United States. Click the link and use the arrows at the bottom of the page to cycle through the thirty-four photographs.
For three years I traveled around the country exploring food issues. The more time I spent speaking and listening to individual stories, the more I began to think about the foods we consume and the effects they have on us as individuals and communities....An intense curiosity and questions about stewardship led me to begin to make these unconventional portraits. A refrigerator is both a private and a shared space. One person likened the question, "May I photograph the interior of your fridge?" to asking someone to pose nude for the camera.
