AXIS MUNDI is a photographic exploration of domestic, commercial and communal kitchens and the stories that bring them to life. AXIS MUNDI is the continuation of the international interdisciplinary project  TKEĊNIR project which started in 2010 in Malta. The title, Axis Mundi, refers to the point where all directions meet, a hub of thresholds, of beginnings and ends, a neutral ground between the particular and the universal.
 

The exhibition was held in Dar Malta (Brussels) and was organised and hosted by the Embassy of Malta in Belgium and supported by the Cultural Diplomacy Fund. 

 

The photographic panels were shot in a range of kitchens ranging from the most contemporary to more rustic domestic ones, from those of commercial outlets to the institutional kitchens. The panels therefore create a colourful tableau which mixes the intimate and personal with the more functional and impersonal.

 

The project is coordinated by Glen Calleja (Fondazzjoni AWL). More information on the project can be found on tkecnir.blogspot.com
