Rectangular identification card composed of layered polymer substrate with printed typographic fields, security motifs, and integrated serial elements. The left upper quadrant contains a photographic frame where the conventional biometric portrait is substituted by a bread-shaped anthropomorphic head, exhibiting a golden-brown baked surface with stylized apertures suggesting ocular cavities, a protruding nose form, and an open mouth. Below the portrait frame, a collared shirt in light coloration is visible, maintaining standardized attire consistency. The central portion of the document includes multilingual inscriptions such as “CARTA DI IDENTITÀ / IDENTITY CARD” arranged in horizontal registers, overlaid on background fields consisting of guilloché line patterns, color gradients, and microtext security printing. A holographic overlay and emblematic insignia occupy the right section, combined with a designated fingerprint placeholder. The lower region of the card displays numeric sequences, serial numbers, and alphanumeric strings aligned in gridlike order, partially obscured by overprinting layers. A metallic paperclip secures the document in the upper corner, producing localized compression marks. The full arrangement juxtaposes the standardized geometry and typographic order of a government-issued identity medium with the incongruous replacement of the identification photograph by an object of alimentary morphology stylized to mimic a human head form.
Large-scale sculptural bread mass positioned adjacent to a human figure inside an interior exhibition environment. The bread form consists of numerous irregularly shaped baked segments fused together into a dense agglomeration, showing variations in crust coloration ranging from golden tan to dark brown with lighter porous interiors protruding between hardened surfaces. The structure features bulges, fissures, folds, and overlapping layers of crumb and crust, creating a topography resembling geological stratification or organic cellular growth. Surface textures include cracked patterns, bubbled expansions, and compressed folds indicative of yeast expansion and oven heat exposure. The object is presented at head-scale, occupying the right portion of the composition, with the adjacent human figure partly visible on the left, wearing reflective eyeglasses and positioned in front of a red vertical banner marked with black lettering that includes the project name “Walking.” Background elements include window panels admitting daylight and additional fragments of the exhibition banner showing repeated baked imagery. The sculptural bread mass functions as both material artifact and visual centerpiece, combining edible substrate with volumetric enlargement to create a hybrid between food matter and structural object, emphasizing density, irregular morphology, and varied surface conditions without subjective evaluation.
Hybrid visual composition integrating photographic facial textures with superimposed linear illustration, producing a fragmented anthropomorphic form. The lower region of the image consists of highly detailed photographic material showing wrinkled human skin with prominent folds, creases, and irregular topography. Textural elements include fine lines, deep furrows, and areas of sagging tissue rendered with high-resolution tonal variation, producing an aged dermal surface marked by shadows and highlights. Lips are visible in the lower quadrant, with defined vermillion border and surface texture, while adjacent regions display flattened planes and distortions where photographic fragments merge. The photographic zone terminates abruptly at the upper forehead region, where the imagery transitions into drawn contour lines executed in digital or pencil-like strokes. These line elements define the cranial outline, ear shape, and simplified nose bridge without interior shading, leaving negative space unfilled. The transition between photographic and illustrated components is abrupt, emphasizing discontinuity between rendered realism and schematic abstraction. Line elements extend around the head contour, outlining skull curvature, auricular form, and a simplified linear nose ridge. Additional sketched loops above the cranium suggest hair or head accessory in schematic shorthand. The unfinished upper zone remains white, forming a void that contrasts with the photographic density below. This juxtaposition produces a dual register: tactile detail through photographic dermal surfaces and minimal abstract suggestion through graphic contour marks. The ear on the left margin is simplified by linear rendering without volumetric modeling, contrasting with the complex surface undulations of the photographic cheek area. The composition balances asymmetry: the left half emphasizes illustrative linearity while the right is dominated by photographic texture. Black voids at the lower corners create framing contrast, enhancing central placement of the composite face. The relationship between drawn and photographed material foregrounds experimental modes of portrait construction, where skin textures, lips, and dermal irregularities merge with schematic anatomical outlines. The integration suggests a study of morphological exaggeration, collage technique, and contrast between photographic indexicality and diagrammatic abstraction, functioning as an exploratory artifact bridging digital drawing, photomontage, and anatomical observation.
