Gruesome, lifelike body parts made entirely out of bread [I Heart Food]

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.

Here’s the real kicker - they’re packaged like food and up for sale at his showroom / gallery / exhibition / bakery / torture-chamber / oddity / tourist attraction in Ratchaburi, Thailand. Check out the video below to see the packaged goods and some footage of Unarrom at work:

Unarrom himself is almost charmingly candid about his art…

“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.”

Inspired and informed by anatomy book and visits to forensic museums, he makes sure that none of your various body part bread desires go unfulfilled: he also makes feet, hands, and internal organs which come displayed impaled on hooks. Made from dough, raisins, cashew nuts, and chocolate, all of the works on display are totally edible. (insert cannibalism joke here). (insert “eat me” joke here). (insert “put your foot where your mouth is” joke here).

“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.”

Right. That’s the lesson…
