The Real Thing
A series of luminous jewels, 2005
Group exhibition, Beaten Gold
Israeli Jewelry Biennale, Eretz Israel Museum
Curator: Dganit Schocken
PVC, LED bulbs, pins, negative film & electric power source
I chose to respond to the invitation to participate in the Jewellery Biennale from a point of view which highlights the jewel as a visual communicative medium and a carrier of messages.
The concept resonated with the exhibition’s theme, Beaten Gold, by referring to the use of gold pigment to represent light, a well-known convention in the history of art.
In a conceptual reversal which subverts the value of real gold as a material that connotes wealth and power, I projected light images on tiny PVC screens (5 × 5 cm) that functioned as luminous ornaments that could be worn as Jewels, thereby exposing their essentially ephemeral nature.
