Kimmo Ylönen esilämmittää leveämpi leipä -teoksen uunia. Kuva: Ulla Taipale |
Leivon tarkoitusta varten rakennetussa uunissa mahdollisimman leveän leivän. Leveä = lyhyt. Työn viesti rautalangasta, tai taikinasta väännettynä on, että rajallisten resurssien maapallolla leveämpi leipä kaikille merkitsee myös leivän lyhentymistä.
Performanssi:
Kimmon Ylösen leipä poltetaan lauantaina 10.9 Salon taidemuseon pihalla:
More Bread
Many people say they work in order to get more bread. From one generation to the next there is the continued desire to get more for their children. This is reasonable in times of shortage, famine or general uncertainty, but it is disastrous when people are always just wanting more.
The widest possible loaf is baked in a purpose-built oven. Wide = short. The message of the work, spelled out in the dough, is that, with the earth’s limited resources, a wider loaf also means a shorter one.
