Daily Bread
Starting 1 July 2026, a single, unique sculpture capturing the morning’s bread is produced and released each day. Spanning classic slices, layered sculptural variants, and transient culinary moments, each piece, both figurative and fantastical, is hand-formed from a shifting palette of fine porcelain, stoneware, and raw earthenware bodies inspired by the immediate day.
Utilising custom glazes, oxides and volatile chemical reactions, every sculpture is individually dated and permanently stamped on the reverse.
Slices that remain unacquired in the studio gather compounding weight over time; their market value increases by €50 every seven days until they are collected.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
A single, one-of-one ceramic sculpture is archived, uploaded, and released on this portal every morning at 09:00 CEST. Each piece represents a physical record of a morning breakfast and is never duplicated.
-
The daily release represents a chronological performance calendar, not an instantaneous production loop. Every slice undergoes a rigorous two-week studio cycle including precision forming, extensive drying, meticulous glaze formulation, and high-temperature kiln firings exceeding 1000 degrees. Sanjai manages a continuous, rolling studio schedule to ensure each unique date is fully realized and ready for archival release on its designated calendar day.
-
Every sculpture enters the portal at its base studio valuation. If a piece remains unacquired in the studio, its value increases by €50 every seven days to reflect the compounding weight of time within the performance. Once a piece is collected, its price is frozen permanently at its final sale value.
-
