This graphics, videos and posters were part of a jewelery display at the fashionclash festival in Maastricht.

Life’s a dream’ is both the title of the research project and a reference to the slogan printed on a blue plastic bracelet found in the Atacama Desert in Chile. Bleached by the sun and covered in dust, jewelry artist Franca Ullrich collected broken objects and discarded clothes, to bring them back to Germany, where some pieces originally came from. The artwork is fragmented in time and encompasses video, photography, smell, and recycled jewelry made from scrap metal gathered from local junkyards. Molten into sand and highly polished, the casted pieces not only reflect an elusive shine, but a methodology of dealing with the corroding husks that are left behind.

Based on a concept that Franca had previously developed during her stay at the artist’s residency in Chile they both worked out the concept including the final Identity of the project, Exhibition preparation and the exhibition structure.
Besides that Franca produced the jewelry and Moritz the graphics.
