Bread Heads 1992

Carved  loaves of breads
varying sizes

One of Böröcz’s favorite subjects is bread. He uses it as both content and medium. As the basic food group for many cultures, bread is also often a symbol of religion and politics.
This series of sculptures, Bread Heads, were made from breads from a local kosher bakery, Moishe’s. During the period of time that he carved these pieces, Böröcz subsisted mainly on the carved out portions.
More recently, he has also worked with bread in performance, video, drawings and 2 artist book collaborations.
