2023–ongoing · Bread-making, exchanges, performance, photographs and publications
Bread Whispers develops through learning to bake and sharing what I make. Beginning in Gwangju, exchanges with bakers became a way to enter unfamiliar places through practical work. Repeated trials, signed records of learning, meals and conversations connect the chapters.
Across Bread Whispers, I design and make the certificates myself. Each is signed by the chef or artisan who taught me the respective skill, recording the learning relationship and the knowledge shared.
Each place has its own circumstances. The pages below follow those encounters separately, while keeping the continuing project visible.
