This photograph depicts Alex Boya in a studio environment, holding an oversized package tightly against his chest. The package is securely wrapped in transparent protective film, with its cover label partially visible beneath the wrapping. The design includes an ornate emblem, likely referencing the experimental project The Mill, and signals that the parcel contains an important archival or prototype object, possibly another proof copy or large-format version of the graphic novel associated with the project.

The setting suggests a production or archival workspace: overhead, multiple adjustable desk lamps are directed toward work surfaces, providing concentrated light for inspection or technical tasks. Behind Boya, additional equipment and apparatuses hint at a hybrid environment between animation studio, archival lab, and research space. The presence of precision lighting and scanning equipment reinforces the importance of properly documenting material artifacts connected to experimental media practices.

Boya’s posture—cradling the object with both arms—emphasizes the physicality and weight of the delivery, while also symbolizing the role of artists as caretakers of their own creative archives. The protective wrapping underscores the value placed on preservation, suggesting that this is not just a package but an irreplaceable link in the production and circulation pipeline of The Mill.

The oversized form suggests that the contents could be a proof edition of a large-scale graphic novel or a print run sample, bridging the cinematic material of the project into distributable book form. Its arrival and documentation mark a milestone in the project’s transition from concept and moving-image experimentation into tangible, distributable print media.

This image functions as both a record of studio workflow and a symbolic gesture of the artist’s relationship to the material archive, where experimental ideas are not only preserved digitally but also embodied in physical forms that can be transported, stored, displayed, and circulated across international networks of festivals, galleries, and libraries.
Trade show or convention booth installation arranged with modular panels, printed banners, and display surfaces dedicated to the project “Walking Bread.” The booth structure is composed of vertical frame elements supporting alternating red and white fabric curtains that define the enclosed presentation space. At the left edge stands a tall vertical banner printed with an illustrated anthropomorphic bread-headed figure in a gray suit, posed in motion with one arm extended forward. Above the illustration, the text “Alex Boya’s WALKING BREAD” is printed in bold black lettering against an orange-red background, accompanied by a QR code near the lower section. In the center foreground, a rectangular table is covered with a bright red cloth featuring the phrase “WALKING BREAD” in oversized black capital letters spanning the full surface. On top of the table are stacked printed booklets, flyers, and open reference materials, alongside electronic accessories such as a mouse, power cables, and adapters. Positioned centrally on the table is a flat-screen monitor, blank at the moment of capture, supported on its base stand. Behind the table, a seated figure wearing a black shirt, black visor-style cap, and event lanyard holds a smartphone, with posture oriented slightly toward the right. Above this position, a horizontal placard identifies the booth with the text “WALKING BREAD” in bold type, mounted across the upper framework. To the right side of the booth, another placard lists “La Forge Des Créateurs,” indicating a shared or adjacent exhibition space. The flooring consists of smooth gray concrete, consistent with convention hall interiors, while overhead lighting fixtures cast even illumination across the booth. The arrangement highlights the integration of graphic branding, illustrated character design, textual signage, and digital display equipment within a controlled presentation environment designed for public engagement and visibility.
