Artist Sharon Baker has created these anatomically correct bread body parts with brilliantly messed up results, from a series called ‘Bread Casts’…
Then there was also “Eat Me” for the Thames Festival in 2006 – an art performance with bread
A performance for which I have cast my body in bread and invite the audience to eat it with me. The body is cut, or sometimes bitten off and shared amongst the audience. Eating it initiates a natural cycle – their bodies transform mine and symbolically reunite me with the environment. The Thames Festival audience responded with unbounded enthusiasm making it a combination of a 60’s happening, a public execution and a feeding frenzy.
