"I got a push into starting the project by getting inspired with an exhibition in ZHdK by Tulio Bühler. He made ceramic shapes from croissants he found in Zürich. That made me see how one "simple" thing can be so different. I wanted to take a closer look and give some light to croissants of Zürich. Every bakery has its own way, recipe and it's own handwriting. So I went to as many bakeries as I could and here is what I found."
"Joys in the everyday is my favorite kind of personal data collection."
Croissants were collected from numerous bakeries across Zürich to document differences in shape, recipe, and baking handwriting. Each bakery produces distinct croissant forms reflecting particular techniques, proportions, and presentation. Photographs and ceramic-inspired forms emphasize subtle variations such as lamination, curvature, crust color, and size. The collection highlights how a commonplace food item embodies local craftsmanship and individual bakery identity. Attention to everyday pastries reveals aesthetic and cultural diversity embedded in routine food production. The work frames enjoyment of ordinary moments as a form of personal data collection that values small pleasures and observational care.
