Ute Eitzenhoefer: Subtext

That Ute Eitzenhoefer's jewellery 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 jewellery nevertheless open up to a variety of perspectives: when worn, they encourage us as wearers or beholders to engage in dialogue and bring about an immediate exchange.Text in English and German.
