hotmail.comBio
Anja Eichler (Berlin) holds a diploma/PhD in business administration and worked for several years in this field. Later, she attended Alchimia, School of Jewelry, Italy, from where she graduated in 2011. She lived and worked for several years in China and wrote articles about Chinese Contemporary Jewelry for Art Jewelry Forum. Her work centers on bringing aspects of life into jewelry – be it through everyday materials or pointing to everyday issues. It has been exhibited (inter-)nationally. Apart from this, she gives lectures, teaches workshops and organizes/curates exhibitions around the world.Statement
I draw my inspiration from a process: Flâner (strolling). As a flâneuse, I take the time to carefully observe and discover my surroundings. For me, flâner goes beyond strolling, as it describes a state of mind.Antoine de Saint-Exupéry stated that a pile of stones is no longer a pile of stones when someone sees the foundation of a cathedral in it. I rediscover familiar materials and everyday objects and reinterpret them for my works. I redefine traditional techniques and reappropriate them for my own purposes. As a classic flâneuse, I am an ethnologist of urban space, I observe, take notes, and translate my perceptions into art objects. As a flâneuse in the figurative sense, I am interested in observing social trends.
The formal language of my work is shaped by the findings that fascinate me and what I can develop out of them. Following this process, I am constantly rediscovering my surroundings and myself.
