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.
