The Bread Book

 

 

Performance en colaboración con el artista

Victor Martínez.

Sakino en el proceso de las hojas de pan.

While Victor Martinez was running around the audience (with his calf bandaged and a Spanish language dictionary attached), Sakino - a Mexican performer, made dough and passed it through a mincer so that it was shaped into thin stripes. Victor Martinez then chose and spoke random words from the dictionary: text, translation, experience, taste, sacrifice..., and afterwards, set them alight.

The fire burned as the artist was writing the following onto the dough:

"This is the book on bread. Once upon a time in Poland, in a big castle, the bread and the things that can be said about bread become one single thing. We said many things, but let's better taste them. 7:26 p.m. 24 / 6 / 98. Andrzej".
