An edition conceived as an archaeology of our more or less contemporary iconography of bread: a partial and subjective encyclopaedia that accounts for its presence in our lives and for its political, social, economic and aesthetic changes. The work gathers pictures in the form of one hundred and fifty-six iconographic plates. Taken from various media, from social networks to cookery books, school manuals and audiovisual archives, the images have been printed at the same scale, cut out and arranged by hand on the circumscribed space of the sheet. Moving from the crumb to the whole, the plates bring together, without hierarchy but by theme, different strands of the culture and imagery of bread, so that a collective memory of this staple food unfolds page after page, from its making to its most derived uses.
