Follow The Crumbs That Fall From Your Own

Design materializes ideology, fashionably shifting its values according to the ideals of the moment. This project explores the possibility and limitation of design as a tool to critique ideology. Bread is used as a signifier of labor, class, the political, the religious, and for Bruno Baietto personally, family history. Porcelain, glass blown in bread, cardboard-like ceramics, and tiles made of discarded workwear constitute an installation that allegorizes how, as social ideologies are debunked, remnants remain in our designed environment. Meanwhile, an animatronic waste bin offers a critical commentary on the pageantry of the project and the contradictions of the design field itself.
