Having had my childhood dictated by tea drinking (it is possibly Russia’s most prominent tradition), I chose to study the passing of time during this simple act for this final project for the year.

The table was video recorded while tea was drunk between me and my guests. Two girlfriends were invited, a father, and a lover, (I also tried to have an almost-stranger (new neighbour) come for a cup but unfortunatly that did not come to pass). The conversations were seen awkwardly beginning, cake was devoured and slowly and lazily they wound back down.
While editing, from the 3 events I tried to create a complete picture of the overall phenomenon, adding a bird’s eye view of the setting as a background was just another dimension I could show. The table cloths I kept, saving the stains and the crumbs of the conversation, the residue of the event. The cups changed with the people so did the passing of time, so did the ways of drinking.
