Messymsxi's Breakfast Barter

I am a believer in the importance of Breakfast, and to be honest, I think it's simply because I enjoy having a welcoming meal that prepares me for the coming day. Documenting my breakfast has also become a ritual, which I frequently share with friends on my blog and Instagram.

MessyMsxi's Breakfast Barter is a interactive concept, whereby visitors can draw their ideal breakfast or a breakfast representation on the standard template which I prepared, in exchange for one of my breakfast postcard. A pop-up gallery of completed templates was put up to act as a photo-taking backdrop and to engage with other visitors who have interest in taking part.

Despite the project being non-profitable, the biggest reward was having our roles swapped; it was the visitors illustrating their breakfast for me. This approach has allowed me to connect friends and strangers over the subject of breakfast, which I deeply enjoy.

MessyMsxi's Breakfast Barter was set in Old School, Singapore, part of Public Garden's first flea market.
