VONMO 2024 Seeding: A Time Capsule of Contemporary Jewelry


The VONMO 2024 Seeding project buried 147 contemporary jewelry artworks from 262 artists across 38 countries at China’s “East Jieshi” site. These time capsules will undergo natural weathering until their unearthing in 2026, symbolizing a dialogue between art, time, and mortality. By challenging the temporality of contemporary jewelry, the project reimagines jewelry as future relics, blending tradition with innovation.

Curated under the theme Travelling eastward to Jieshi Mountain, seeding jewelry in the ground, it transforms the coastal site into a pilgrimage for reinterpreting creativity, preserving the present while inspiring tomorrow.
