NEW YORK Angel Hess, a photographer, and his girlfriend, Theresa Magario, have a few places to sit inside their breadtruck. They use the dashboard for storage. Their home is a purple bread truck in Brooklyn. The 100squarefoot pad is outfitted with bamboo floors, solarpowered electricity and a fullsized bed. The artists live here without a toilet or a kitchen. When temperatures plummet outside, their seltzer water and soy milk freeze. They cook minivegetable pizzas on a woodburning stove and shower at a nearby gym. They access the Internet on a laptop hooked up to a handheld Treophone that serves as a modem. Angel Hess, a photographer, and his girlfriend, Theresa Magario, a poet and sculptor, came to New York from small towns to live big dreams. They met, fell in love, and fretted over paying rent in a city where a 400squarefoot apartment can run $2,100 a month or more. Hess, 28, couldn't afford more than $600, and Magario, 24, could pay even less. Both had experienced their share of bouncing from room to room and living with random roommates found on craigslist.org. "I was stressed out," said Hess, who also makes jewelry. "I said I'm not going to waste the money anymore. I started thinking about getting a house in another location but I still couldn't get loans. Then I started thinking about trucks, and train cars, and containers just unusual things that could be a house." Hess found the 1953 Ford truck on EBay for $2,500. It was in Eureka, Calif. He saved for three months then bought a plane ticket for $400 to pick it up. It would become his ultimate art project. Hess wrote purple53.com the web site for his creation on its right side, next to the portrait of a fast food drivethrough restaurant. . (Photo by Carolyn Cole/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images)
