"The Space in Between" necklace was exhibited during Venice Design Week as part of the exhibition "I Don't Shine. I Have Something to Say."
Wouldn't it be quite amazing for our eyes to take pictures? Imagine how it would be if our hearts could take "photographs", or even better, analogue "photographs" of feelings that we experience?
What if you could keep a copy of a feeling in your pocket, stick it on your bedroom wall, or take it with you for a walk because it's hidden in that secret pocket in your wallet, and just like that you will live it again.
If you have tried film photography, you probably know what I mean when I say that the pictures look alive and they feel valuable. And if you think about it, the film actually captures light from that fraction of second the photograph was taken, giving you a physical connection to the moment.
FYI: You need long exposure time to capture a picture in darkness. If it feels too bright, just let your camera photograph for as short as a blink. It is even trickier to get a shot if the light is flickering: you get half of a chance everything will be fine, and the other half of the chance is that you won't see anything resembling that moment ever again. Using a timer feels generally unnatural. Some film rolls will have the word 'super' repeatedly written on the edge, at a distance, so it is quite random what picture it appears next to.
What would the equivalent of analog photography for when you'd want to capture emotions be like? And what would happen to the feelings in case this yet to be invented film roll is exposed to heat, lemon juice, wine or bone-reaching scanners?
P. S.: Yes, exposing an undeveloped film roll to heat, lemon juice, wine or X-rays will lead to an uncontrolled manipulation of colors and alteration of the said capture of the moment in time.
Materials: Sterling Silver (925), Natural Freshwater Pearls, Developed Film Roll, Thread.
Available for sale after the exhibition ends.
