Pasta Artworks
How do you preserve edible art? It’s difficult. After all, Urs also hears people say time and time again that it’s a real shame to just eat his beautiful pasta. So he came up with the idea of preserving it and moulding it in synthetic resin. It took nearly two years to get from the initial idea to the finished product, time which had to be used for research and development of the manufacturing process. However, it was worth it. The pasta moulded in this way differs only slightly from the edible version and could also be eaten without any problems. And most importantly: Urs himself is totally crazy about his moulded pasta artworks. His passion is clear to see.

| Title | The wall that learned to smile |

| Number of item | 1/1 (unique) |
| Description | 16 brick wall ravioli and a pasta flower peeking trough a hole in the brick wall. It might seem obvious to name it The Flower Breaking Through the Wall, yet such a title speaks of conflict, of struggle, of defiance. Perhaps it is gentler, wiser, to imagine a different approach – one of meeting halfway, of reaching out. Then even a wall, once cold and immovable, might learn to smile, and the flower’s quiet triumph becomes a story of harmony, not of confrontation. |

| Number of item | 1 / 1 (unique) |
| Description | 4 Ravoioli casted in synthetic resin. The ravioli are made with 26 different colors, so it’s a very smooth color gradient. 26 colors means also 26 different pasta doughs. The rainbow gradients, spanning twenty-four shades, radiate an uncanny warmth, a glow that feels both vibrant and intimate. The black lines, though often crooked and irregular, anchor the composition – bringing a surprising sense of balance to the whole, as if the chaos and the order had quietly agreed to coexist. |

| Number of item | 1 / 1 (unique) |
| Description | 4 ravioli casted in synthetic resin. The ravioli are made with 14 different colors, which requires 14 different pastadoughs in these colors. The energy of the colors radiates outward from the core, spilling in all directions, untamed and alive. Yet they follow their own paths, heedless of constraint. The structures meant to guide their flow cannot contain them; the colors dance freely, each line and curve a celebration of liberty, a vibrant rebellion against order. |

| Title | Caramel Code |
| Size | 20 x 20 x 5 cm |
| Year of creation | 2025 |
| Number of item | 1 / 1 (unique) |
| Description | 9 ravioli created with a ravioli stamp. The ravioli are casted in a block of synthetic resin. The rear layer of synthetic resin is colored black. The caramel-hued ones appear like an encrypted message, a script written in edible cipher. Their warm tones seem deliberate, almost intentional – as though meaning were folded into every curve and contour. What secret might they be carrying? What story lies hidden between their gentle folds? The mind begins to turn, imagination quickens and spirals – decoding possibilities from color and form, until the pasta itself feels like a whisper waiting to be understood. |

| Description | To find the diagonal of a rectangular raviolo, one turns to the ancient equation: a² + b² = c². Perhaps the Garden of Pythagoras was no garden of plants, but a garden of relations. A space where lines intersect, planes fold, and eleven shades whisper, as if coaxing geometry itself to dream. |

| Description | Photo print of fresh pasta. The fly agaric are also made with pasta dough, so they aren’t poisonous. At first glance, nothing seems unusual – the eye glides over the plate without suspicion, admiring the colors, the textures, the artful arrangement. But hidden within the creation lies a quiet jest, a wink from the maker to the mindful observer. The pasta mushrooms – crafted with such care and imagination – are served, of all things, in a mushroom sauce. It is a gentle irony, almost mischievous: mushrooms resting in their own velvety echo, as though the forest had folded back upon itself – a culinary riddle, subtle and smiling, waiting to be discovered. |
