More Description* Ute Eitzenhöfer's impressive works establish a relation between eternal precious materials and our fast-paced present* Jewelry and gemstone art with a socio-critical bent* Featuring an essay by Wilhelm Lindemann discussing the works from a cultural-historical perspectiveThat Ute Eitzenhöfer's jewelry is related to contemporary phenomena is beyond any doubt. The longevity of precious metals and stones is juxtaposed with the rapid development of social realities -- or with our increasingly overwhelmed perception of them. In particular, our power and powerlessness in dealing with meanwhile highly complex communication are a source of inspiration for her works. The seemingly timeless aesthetics of the minimalist-looking pieces of jewelry nevertheless open up to a variety of perspectives: when worn, they encourage us as wearers or beholders to engage in dialog and bring about an immediate exchange. Text in English and German.
