Daily Bread
Daily Bread is a 62-day ceramic performance exploring daily labor, purpose, and the quiet honesty of a single slice of bread.
Begun on 1 July 2026, the performance binds the studio to an unceasing rhythm of daily making and immediate release. Each unique, date-stamped sculpture is made available for acquisition directly as it emerges from the kiln, shipping worldwide upon completion.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
A single, one-of-one ceramic sculpture is archived, uploaded, and released on this portal every morning at 09:00 CEST, no matter its state of completion. Each piece represents a permanent physical record of daily labor and sustenance, and is never duplicated.
-
The daily release represents a chronological performance calendar, not an instantaneous production loop. Every slice undergoes a two- to three-week studio cycle including forming, thorough drying, glaze formulation, and high-temperature kiln firings often at cone 04 (1050°C) and beyond . Sanjai manages a continuous, rolling studio schedule however pieces are often sent for secondary glazing and re-firing.
