The exhibition brings together two artists discovering Japan for the first time. Their works emerge from individual explorations, each allowing this journey to resonate according to their own sensibility.
Artist list
Virginie Blajberg, Andrea Piñeros
Two perspectives on the same path never capture the same things: what stands out for one slips into the shadows for the other. Even when the perspective seems identical, the vanishing points diverge.
Virginie Blajberg seeks to create a hybrid world by blending images from the past with her Japanese experience, exploring the intersection of memory, travel, and identity. Since 2014, she has developed a contemporary jewellery practice in which vintage photographs and found objects become miniature tableaux, transforming fragments of the past into emotionally charged spaces for storytelling. Her involvement with Elemento also extends her practice into the transmission of jewellery-making knowledge.
Andrea Piñeros, who participated in the creation of Parcours Bijoux and founded the Elemento jewellery school in Paris in 2020, sees jewellery as an artistic territory where ideas and materials engage in dialogue through experimentation and technique. Her formal universe lies between architecture and nature, while her work reflects on identity, migration and coexistence. For her, the contrast between nature and geometric simplicity becomes an aesthetic dialogue reflecting a society that is at once contradictory, rich and complex.
Between technique and poetry, the two artists invite us to read the narrative of a shared journey, yet one experienced differently.
