Panis Mater

I am the universal mother, mistress of all foods. Though I am worshipped and eaten in many aspects, known by countless forms, propitiated with all manner of different shapes, yet the round one is my favourite. “Open your hands for a piece of her.” Break it, spread it, share it.” Panis Mater describes an abstracted bakery built of Ytong blocks on the Danube Canal embankment. It recalls a sacred site and invites people to join the adoration of Panis Mater. Together, we knead the dough, bake the loaf of the Bread Mother and thus become a part of her.
