Zoé Kiner-Wolff is the only student graduating this year from HEAR who brought together mysterious jewelry, masks, and costumes worn by human bodies challenging the border between humans and animals.
Artist list
Zoé Kiner-Wolff
Mask, you mould the lines of a face, wrap it, cover it and change its features. This second skin is overlaid on the first one, a veil of skin tissue made to dress it, hide it and allow it to see another surface.
Keratin adornment - it decorates the head, neck, ankle, belly, face, arms, or legs.
Small objects born of animal debris snuggled up on the palm of the hand. Metal skeletons covered with organic matter, from which grow hair, feathers, shell or scales.
On my jewels the tegument – the very one that encloses the organism – redraws the border between human and animal, mixing lines and materials. Thus is born a hybrid being, humanimal, protagonist of a story written for him, which he carries on him, a story whose body is matter.
My degree brought together my jewelry, masks, and costumes worn by human bodies to take life. Like living statues, my characters took place in a large room open to the outside, in a building in reassignment of the port of Rhine in Strasbourg. In this strange scene, I also wore one of my masks, I too was one of those humanimal beings I create to tell stories and myths.
