The Salty Project
Making a universal food visible
Going through old notes, Kristen found an idea to go see where salt begins and realized salt is a universal foodstuff.
All humans need it, many animals cannot function without it, and some of us are driven to it, through migration and travel and curiosity.
In November 2017, Kristen went to Argentina, Mexico in December, then in January, Peru, Bolivia, Chile. There was a tire that blew off a rental in Death Valley, an engine that wouldn’t start in Utah. All of those stories are in a new print magazine, the first, of Salty.
This project is a collaboration with CW&T.
