It presents a reflection on the original function of the jewel as a marker of time and symbol of rite of passage and questions its specificity of medium and vehicle of intimate mythologies. For centuries, from the branch of red coral offered to infants to mourning jewellery, giving a jewel has consecrated the crossing of a stage. Worn next to the skin, a jewel is a passage in itself between the hidden, intimate, inner self and the exterior, public side of the individual. By reinterpreting the triptych format, whose structure responds perfectly to the needs of narration, the jewellery artworks created for this exhibition offer us a contemporary vision of immutable existential questions.

Echoing the jewellery exhibition, the gallery will also welcome a selection of works (from the Ensemble Seul series) by photographer Éric Antoine, as well as an installation/artwork, resulting from the collaboration of Franco-Chillian artist/photographer Hector Olguin, and French designer/scenographer Cynthia Ayral.

This exhibition is an event of Parcours Bijoux 2017.
