impressively disturbing body part bread baking
I love that the artist/baker says:

“When people see the bread, they don’t want to eat it. But when they taste it, it’s just normal bread. The lesson is ‘don’t judge just by outer appearances.”
 

So if you walk by a store window and you see what appears to be human body parts packaged for sale— buy some and eat it before you judge…

Kittiwat Unarrom
Body Bakery

Thai Fine Art student and artist Kittiwat Unarrom is the son of a baker. All that baking exposure growing up has been a clear influence, but his artistic need to see things a little differently definitely flared up as he created the tacitly named “Body Bakery” – brutally, gruesomely, almost unbelievably realistic looking sculptures of dismembered human body parts sculpted entirely from bread. Made from dough, raisins, cashew nuts, and chocolate, all of the works on display are totally edible.

“Of course, people were shocked and thought that I was mad when they saw the works. But once they knew the idea behind it, they understood and became interested in the work itself, instead of thinking that I am crazy. When people see the bread, they don’t want to eat it. But when they taste it, it’s just normal bread. The lesson is ‘don’t judge just by outer appearances.”

They’re packaged like food and up for sale at his showroom / gallery / exhibition / bakery / torture-chamber / oddity / tourist attraction in Ratchaburi, Thailand.
