Les Fleurs du Mal
25.04.2007 - 23.09.2007
MAK Metal Study Collection

With their close ties to today’s fashion, these works of jewelry range from “simple chains and brooches, to structures which embrace bodies, to sculptures as objects which seek to bring users into closer physical relation to their bodies”. “Les Fleurs du Mal” shows a wide range of topics and atmospheres of the “dark side”, with all shades of morbid moods, from anxiety and horror to eroticism and fetishism.
