The winner of the New Talent Award 2024 is Yonghak Jo, who graduated from Jewellery Class, Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle, where she studied under Professor Yuka Oyama.
The Prize consists of a professional jeweller profile at klimt02.net and an exhibition at Hannah Gallery Barcelona by Klimt02.
Klimt02 2024 Jury decided to award Yonghak Jo:
Yuka Oyama Guiding Teacher at the school, states:
Yonghak's interpretation of ‘jewellery as monument’ is consolidated by actively researching and re-enacting the traditional Korean metalworking ‘Zoum-Ipsa’ technique that was almost lost during the three wars: Pacific War, Korean War and Cold War. It is the very craft knowledge and cultural heritage of undivided Korea, preserved by craftsmen despite the political turmoil. ‘Zoum-Ipsa’ technique involves chiseling fine grooves into the surface of iron plates and inlaying hair-thin silver threads into intricate patterns.
Yonghak Jo states:
Jewellery, historically small and portable, serves as personal monuments to memories. In my diploma project, I explored contemporary jewellery as a medium for sharing collective memories. Afterward, I shifted focus to personal narratives, highlighting how diverse memories shape culture. My jewellery connects the past and present, restoring lost memories and relationships. I aim for contemporary jewellery to hold both personal and collective memories, passing them to future generations with messages of hope and healing. Amid global conflicts, I believe remembering violence is a way to resist it, and I hope my work contributes to this effort.
