Have you ever heard the characteristic gurgle of the Moka pot? This is the steam rising from the coffee maker as it escapes into the upper chamber. The Moka uses pressure instead of gravity. Its revolution lies (also) in this technique. Understanding how the Moka works is a journey of discovery for a unique object. But also of an Italian ritual, that of coffee, which knows no time or borders.

Daria Martinoni is a non-professional photographer working and living in Zurich, Switzerland. As a Geographer, she uses photography to playfully (de)construct the built urban environment we live in in order to explore our perception of space (and reality). She experiments with long shutter speeds and several zoom settings in one exposure. With this approach, she aimes at questioning our making of the world through experience and knowledge.
