Tales of Bread
Still Life Photograph / Play Writing
Tales of Bread explores bread as a quiet recorder of cultural and historical change, where iconic shapes—such as the croissant, baguette, or fish-shaped loaf—carry traces of past events and shifting social conditions.
Drawing from these symbolic forms, Jihyun Hong writes theatrical vignettes and constructs still-life photographs that imagine both historical and future narratives embedded in bread.
The work invites viewers to reconsider this everyday food as a material archive, revealing the stories it holds and the histories it continues to shape.
