Animated capture of a 3D printer in operation, showing the additive manufacturing process of a sculptural head form. The print bed is covered by a red platform, upon which the model is gradually being built layer by layer. The object exhibits a rounded cranial structure with partially formed facial contours, oriented upright during the build sequence. The nozzle assembly and filament feed move rhythmically across the print area, depositing heated polymer material that cools into successive layers.The surrounding mechanical system includes metal rails, guide rods, and wiring conduits that control the motion of the print head in Cartesian directions. A filament spool mounted externally supplies continuous thermoplastic filament to the extruder. Dim ambient lighting emphasizes the illuminated area of the printer bed, highlighting the emerging object in contrast to darker surroundings.
The model itself appears as an anthropomorphic bust with exaggerated proportions, stylized contours, and reduced surface detail consistent with early-to-mid stages of print completion. The process documents digital design translated into physical artifact through additive deposition, situating the object at the intersection of virtual modeling, prototyping, and tangible fabrication.
Large-format composite layout combining drawn comic-strip sequences with step-by-step photographic documentation of object fabrication. The top row consists of storyboard-style frames featuring bread-derived head forms, rendered in line and color, paired with diagrams of reference objects such as a toaster and sponge. Below, sequential photographs show construction using clear plastic vessels, inflated balloons, and sculptural layering, interspersed with drawn overlays illustrating intended transformations.
This image captures a large-scale sculptural prototype in progress for Walking Bread, mounted on a black stand inside a studio environment. The central object is a bread-inspired head form, roughly spherical and volumetric, constructed from brown-toned materials and partially encased in transparent plastic wrapping for structural support, protection, or shaping purposes. Suspended within the main cavity is a smaller orb wrapped in cling film, resembling an internal core or placeholder structure. The translucent wrapping reveals layers of the underlying texture, combining crumpled paper, adhesive tape, and possible bread-textured components. This hybrid construction embodies an experimental stage in puppet or prop development, aligning with the project’s focus on integrating bread materiality into character and set design.
Technical apparatus installed within a corner studio space comprising an overhead capture rig with integrated lighting, cameras, and articulated support components. Central vertical support column extends upward from a weighted base, stabilizing the entire assembly. Affixed to the upper section is a large rectangular overhead platform constructed from wood and metal, positioned horizontally above a working surface. A circular aperture is cut into the platform, accommodating a ring light that directs uniform illumination downward onto the tabletop.
The image shows a head-shaped object constructed from baked bread, photographed against a plain white background. The form is anthropomorphic, resembling a face with distinguishable nose, eye sockets, ears, and cranial contours. The bread surface is irregular and fragmented, with cracks, ridges, and protruding baked crusts forming the structural relief of facial features. The coloration ranges from golden brown to darker toasted sections, with mottled tonal variation accentuating the rugged texture.
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.
Interior scene showing a person seated cross-legged on a cushioned surface against a vertical wall decorated with a large circular mural. The mural consists of radiating linear segments arranged concentrically around a central hub, resembling a mechanical wheel or architectural rose window, with layered shading defining depth. The seated individual wears a long-sleeved dark garment with translucent mesh sections, layered jewelry including necklaces and bracelets, and dark trousers. Hands are engaged in manipulating a transparent plastic bottle partially filled with water, with one hand gripping the container while the other twists the cap. The figure’s posture remains upright, with legs folded and positioned symmetrically across the cushion. Illumination originates from a single overhead or lateral source, casting directional shadows on the mural and figure, creating tonal contrast between light and shaded areas. The overall environment consists of neutral surfaces with minimal furnishing, focusing attention on the central subject and the large radial design behind. The animated format captures repetitive hand motion associated with bottle cap adjustment.
This photograph captures a worktable setup focused on the careful organization and manipulation of small fragments. At the center is a rectangular transparent plastic tray, within which numerous small elements are distributed in two distinct colors: white and black. The white fragments outnumber the black, scattered more broadly across the smooth surface, while the black pieces appear in smaller clusters, creating a binary visual separation. Their flat, irregular shapes suggest either cut synthetic material or possibly seeds repurposed for experimental craft or model construction. The translucency of the tray enhances visibility of each piece against the pale surface beneath.
