Early development · 2023
Table Talk
Three filmed pilot episodes with older people in Finland, created in participants’ homes and familiar environments. The project explored memory and lived experience through intimate conversation, domestic observation, meaningful objects, church visits and shared cooking.
The emphasis was on presence, gesture, silence and intergenerational connection through everyday activity.
Three homes. Three conversations. An archive of gestures, meals and memories.
