Eating with yt - Tong Yin

Mixed media / video 
 
The story behind this project inspired by two of my most unforgettable dates from dating app and the gastro pubs we’ve been to, including all my thoughts about them, myself, love and food. I translated all those thoughts into a conceptual tableware through knitting, and visualize how my products and designs will be put into use in my imaginary dating dinning scenario through a 16mm stop motion film.
The film is set against the backdrop of the gentrification phenomenon in East London, intertwining the emotional lives of urban people in the age of dating apps. Through the act of eating to present my own inner world. Food, love, and society are deeply intertwined， This is my story, and perhaps, also the story of the metropolis.
