Jiro Kamata: Voices presents Kamata's works here in English, Chinese and Japanese -- delving into the aesthetic brilliance, dimensions of optical experience and perception of values in this premium-designed publication.
In his artistic jewellery work Jiro Kamata, offspring of a Japanese family of jewellers, deals with optical phenomena in connection with the perception of values. In doing so he spurns classic jewellery not only aesthetically, but also queries traditional production methods. Instead of ores and precious stones prospected under adverse conditions, he processes found and sometimes already used materials into rings, brooches and pendants. To the traditional extraction of materials Kamata opposes a practice of material preservation.
