TABLÉES

This book offers a visual narrative on the theme of the shared-or increasingly unshared-meal through a collection of 250 subjectively selected images drawn from the history of Western art and visual culture and dated at a regular two-year interval from 1500 to 2025. The images include paintings, photographs, engravings, drawings, and film stills.

Each image becomes a trace, a clue that suggests how the everyday gesture of sharing a meal reflects broader transformations: in customs, relationships, spirituality, politics, and technology.

The book’s aim is critical and reflective: it invites us to question what «being at the table» means today, how convivial rituals have been transformed in an increasingly individualistic society.
