Artist list

Kaori Juzu
Visitors will also have the opportunity to see larger works, like one-of-a-kind brooches, along with some of the new pieces from her series “108 POINTS OF VIEW”. This corpus refers to a significant number of Buddhism. All over Japan at midnight on New Year’s Eve, Buddhist temples ring their bells a total of 108 times to free the human beings from their Kleshas / 108 defilements. Kaori Juzu drew her inspiration from this ritual to create 108 unique miniature wearable artworks (which can be worn as earrings or pins) by conforming to a self-imposed rule. During the lockdown caused by the Corona crisis, she indeed re-used some remaining and left apart materials from previous works, as a way to materialize a purifying process, an artistic path to resilience.

Opening hours: 11 am - 8 pm.
