  • [Swedish artist] Johanna Mårtensson's photo series Decor imagines life after people through the medium of bread.
  • Mårtensson built herself a miniature bread city and then photographed it as grew moldy and collapsed.
  • She photographed her city every day for six months, letting it decompose. Eventually, the buildings collapsed, and her bread city resembled a distant, post-apocalyptic scene.

I discovered it here.  You can see the rest of the (haunting) photos here and more of Mårtensson's work here
