COUP de COEUR : Lina PIHL
« My interest lies in our cultural and socially constructed relationship to the body in the western world. The realm of norms, rules and laws that creates the complex structure which constitute the body and the traditional position of adorning and decorating the body with the use of jewelry for power, status, wealth, identity and beauty.
Like a cross-section of this indivisible unity, my jewelry breaks up these structures of body, norms, culture and society and shows them in a new light of form, context and meaning. By turning it into jewelry, a piece of tradition, history and interpretation, it also turns it into a discourse and perhaps a new understanding.
“Everything exists eternally in the same space and time. It is only our state of consciousness and our mental and physical abilities that cause us to “plug in” or “plug out”.” (Marina Abramovic) » Lina PIHL
