Stéphanie Kilgast discovered the world of miniatures in the summer
of 2007, replicating food into tiny sculptures small enough to put
in your pocket.
The German-born artist, now based in Paris, chose to
sculpt food to highlight the instinctive need of
sustenance, while simultaneously reminding us of the pleasure
that comes with eating. Kilgast's ultimate goal though is to make
people happy through her work, and it seems to have worked, as her
creations have won rave reviews around the world and she's
in-demand as a speaker and author.
Kilgast is currently showing her works at a trade fair at
the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (18 July to 23
August 2013), an exhibition that includes twenty miniature
pieces inspired by French favourites.
Would you like a slice of chewy baguette?
Or a buttery croissant and a pain au chocolat?
Look at the folds and detail on the croissant...that fit nicely on
the tip of her finger!
A hearty serving of crêpes and
jam
This is what we'd like to have for breakfast in bed, please: coffee
for a morning pick-me-up, thick buttered slices of toast
with ham and cheese, and a side of fruit yoghurt.
A board of seafood, smaller than a matchstick!
A familiar sight at barbeques: Burgers, kebabs and hot
dogs
Oysters, anybody?
A fantastic, greasy breakfast.
