Thai Artist Bakes Edible 'Body Parts'
Thai Artist Bakes Edible 'Body Parts'
By WATCHARAPORN TAITHONGCHAI, Associated Press Writer
Sun Sep 4, 7:40 AM ET
POTHARAM, Thailand - Inside a dark room, realistic-looking "human body parts" are stacked on shelves and hanging on meat hooks. The place looks like a mortuary or the lair of a serial killer, but in fact, it's a bakery. What appears to be putrefying body parts are the bread sculptures of 28-year-old art student Kittiwat Unarrom.
"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," said the fine arts masters degree student.
He hopes his realistic artwork will make people ponder whether they are consuming food, or food is consuming them.
"Everyone's life is rushed nowadays, even when it comes to eating," he said. "When we eat, we don't think about our health or safety, we only think of our taste buds."
As an undergraduate art student, Kittiwat started painting portraits. He then moved to mixed media and finally dough — a natural medium for him since his family runs a bakery.
Along with edible human heads crafted from dough, chocolate, raisins and cashews, Kittiwat makes human arms, feet, and chicken and pig parts. He uses anatomy books and his vivid memories of visiting a forensics museum to create the human parts.
He now is receiving regular orders from the curious and from pranksters who want to surprise their friends or colleagues, but that's a minor sideline.
By the end of the year, Kittiwat's confectionary slaughterhouse will go on display at Bangkok's Silpakorn University. It's his final dissertation, and he hopes it will secure him a master of arts degree.
"When people see the bread, they don't want to eat it. But when they taste it, it's just normal bread," he said. "The lesson is 'don't judge just by outer appearances.'"

I love how he goes on like he's making a philosophical point, but we all know the first thought was "Wouldn't it be cool if I made a loaf of bread and it totally looked like an arm!?!", and the stuff about society came after to justify it to everyone else.

Peter nailed it on the head, me thinks....
EPS, make sure you film these trick or treaters being "handed" their treats. I'd like to see what the eyes of an innocent child slip into shellshock look like :P

That guy's pretty nasty. He probably doesn't even know it. But I'd love to freak the hell out of people with those. Heehee.
That makes me nasty too, doesn't it.

I wonder if many people buy it and do eat it? It's amazingly realistic for being bread.

This reminds me of Night of the Living Dead. The FX team for the film somehow cut and shaped pieces of pork to look like arms and legs. I envy his sculpting skill; those are really convincing!

I suppose you could use those to make a Hand-sandwich... And I'll bet his Lady Fingers are realistic too... Mmmmmm... Tirmisu with Realistic Lady Fingers... You could make it with strawberry topping!

And everytime I read the title of this thread on my PC, it reads: "Artist Bakes Edible..."
And I freak out everytime thinking it's E_E. It's really fucking me up, and I'm lucid right now...
...I think...
...I mean, how do you really know? If you can't tell when you're awake and you're asleep, how can you tell what's dream from reality?...
...What is reality?...
...Who am I?...
...Where do we come from?....
...What does it all mean?...
...Does it mean anything?....
....Is there a point to any of it all?....
sorry, guys. Just fuckin' around.

Nope. My boss was gone for a couple of moments so...
...so I sodomized her. No, not really. I just felt strangely melancholic and humourous at the same time. And perfectly lucid, I can assure you, but if your job sometimes reminds you of Kafka's Process, Orwell's 1984 and Gillian's Brazil all rolled up into one, you better go Ford Prefect, or you'll soon become Marvin.
I'm not kidding here.
Really.
Awww, screw you guys. I'm goin' home.
