My name is W by Benjamin Lignel.Dental gold, dental ceramics. 2007.dimensions variable, aprox 1,8 x 0,4 x 3,8 cm.set of six brooches . photo: still - Enrico Bartolucci, Paris . portrait - Elène Usdin, Paris . . Alongside the medal, which rewards military excellence, we find the trophy: no less a carrier of martial symbolism or an object of ornamental use, I found it surpasses the medal in indicating the flipside of victory, as it is usually procured directly from the carnage that conquest necessarily leaves behind.  . . Quoth Melville, describing Ahab’s Ship: . “She was apparelled like any barbaric Ethiopian emperor, his neck heavy with pendant of polished ivory. She was a thing of trophies. A cannibal of a craft, tricking herself forth in the chased bones of her enemies.” . . This set of brooches was created in response to the ANTI-WAR medals project initiated in 2003 by gallery Velvet da Vinci, in San Francisco..
