Copy of found bread, copper, patina

A shelving system hosts a fragment of bread, consumed by birds in the city before being retrieved and formed in copper. From human consumption to avian feeding, and back again to human regard as an artwork, the project traces the journey of this fragment as it shifts between spheres of use and attention, bearing the traces of each encounter. Torn, pecked, ignored, retrieved, and electroformed, the object accumulates gestures enacted by multiple beings, condensing urban interactions into a layered material record.
Additionally, a mounted speaker directs field recordings through a glass tube filled with organic and inorganic materials. The structure recalls glass enclosures used to observe plant life, as well as early acoustic devices designed to render sound visible through the movement of matter. As vibrations travel through the tube, each element filters, reflects, and absorbs sound differently. Over time, within the enclosure, the materials dry, shift, and degrade, subtly reconfiguring the system and altering how vibration is transmitted.
Together, the works explore the continuous negotiation between living and non-living agents, as energy, matter, and attention circulate and transform one another within a shared environment.
