Lost and Found

Baran Caginli’s exhibition Lost and Found, explores the intersections of materiality and memory through a series of edible bread sculptures that trace the stories of dissected and lost monuments such as from Estonia, Lithuania, Romania, and Moldova. Using temporary materials like bread to reflect on socio-political and cultural histories, the project aims to delve into instances of civil political action involving the subversion of political posture through the theft of small parts, such as fingers or hands. During the exhibition, visitors are invited to participate in a ceremonial act by consuming these reproduced, edible fragments, choosing to eat, share, or keep them like relics.

The Bread City

The Bread City’ (2009) by Johanna Mårtensson

“After eight months of preparation, Johanna completed her model in Stockholm in 2009 and then proceeded to photograph the decaying process every day for the next six months. She then presented her results in a series of six 500mm x 400mm photographs.

At first the bread looks nice and fresh, like any new construction, but it gradually turns limp and fuzzy until the whole city collapses in a black and grey mess that looks eerily post-apocalyptic.” – inhabitat.com

Rose Boulangerie

Painting bread? @superstudio.ca shares the experimental approach that shaped @rose.boulangerie’s brand in Sainte-Flore, Quebec.

“For Rose Bakery, we crafted an identity that honours the bakery’s deep roots in place and tradition. Tasked with the client’s vision of a compass logo, we transformed this challenge into a design of minimalist shapes inspired by dough-scoring marks that subtly evoke both a compass and the bakery’s artisanal spirit,” shares Carolane Godbout RGD.

Super Studio shares more about the design process and additional photos of the final brand on our website.

Before the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine began, Kadyrova lived and worked in Kiev and then fled with her family to the western part of the country. The Palianytsia project was created in the Transcarpathian region, where Kadyrova has been staying since then. Palianytsia is the name of a Ukrainian round wheat bread that Russian occupiers cannot pronounce correctly and therefore acts as a password or recognition mark among Ukrainians. During her days-long search for accommodation and a workshop, Kadyrova found round stones polished by the current in a river. As a symbol of Ukraine’s resistance, she recreated illusory sculptures of sliced loaves of bread out of these stones. [read more]

Loving Diversity

Mannz Bageri,Lund
Sweden, 2024

LOVING DIVERSITY. We may be of different dough, hood and shape. But we have also a lot in common like the connecting bits and pieces, and our shared memories.

Take our flamboyant Danish pastry with almond twist and our rather straight Austrian wheat stick: apart from that they met each other at MANNZ in Lund for the first time, they really do love each other’s poppy seeds … Friendship forever.

Take care of each other and see you at MANNZ!
