Journey of toasting 144 breads
time taken –1 hour 50 mins
Thoughts:
Woke up at 8am on a Wednesday to start toasting a 9 loafs of jumbo bread, a total of 144 bread which took a total of 1 hour and 50 mins.
I started out with the Toasty Warm installation which is by the poolside. I had to ask permission from the security guards there in case they were to chase me away as they are quite angsty lol. It took about… 15 mins for me to set up 108 breads onto the chair. Pretty long especially it was under the morning sun. I’m toast too HAHA. If you guys actually caught onto the pun of Toasty Warm, technically the toast are sun-tanning! The difficulty I had for this was slotting the bread up onto the chair as I wanted to mimic the action of a toaster. The bread was a little squashed so it keeps falling through the gaps of the chair. From the video you could see my several attempts of trying to sit the bread up-right without dropping it.
Next, the letterbox. This installation gave me more anxiety as I’m technically entering a stranger’s space. I was so afraid that someone might come and check on me, that I’ll be leaving lots of bread crumbs in their letterbox and they would get unhappy hahaha. Thus, there’s no video for the letterbox part as I had to quickly lay the breads out and go.
Overall, this experience a little scary for me as i had to do it in the public alone. Of course, I’ve gotten my fair share of weird stares from the people but it was really fun! I did not get any “bad” response from any strangers, more of laughters and smiles as they see me setting up the bread on the chairs. I guess people aren’t that narrow minded after all 🙂
