Dialogue and Interaction: Multiple Interpretations in Contemporary Jewellery
Group Exhibition, Brand Presentation
Auge & Hand, Mannhardtstraße 4, 80538 München-Altstadt-Lehel, Germany
Zoey Filigree, Psyche, 2024, Sliver. Photographer Zoey Filigree
Event duration: 12-16.03.2025, 10:00-18:00
The exhibition invites visitors to interact with the works through sensory experiences such as touching, assembling, reading and wearing. Each piece is a portal for interaction, allowing for the deconstruction of cultural symbols, forms that adapt to various occasions, and the integration of personal stories into modular designs. The space evolves into a dynamic laboratory where traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design thinking intersect.
By encouraging interaction, the exhibition highlights how contemporary jewellery can go beyond decoration to become a medium for dialogue. These encounters promote unique dialogues that connect individuals with hidden messages, traces of existence, natural phenomena, cultural heritage, and jewellery itself. The boundaries between the viewer and the artwork disappear, transforming the viewer into an active participant in the meaning of each work.
Five Chinese jewellery artists, all educated in the UK, present an interactive contemporary jewellery exhibition at Munich Jewellery Week 2025. Breaking away from the traditional passive viewing experience, the exhibition invites audiences to engage with the works through touching, assembling, and reading, making them active participants in the complete presentation of each piece.
Each work embodies unique interactive possibilities:
Dianrui Fu’s “Traces of Existence” feature intricate modular structures that encourage participants to craft their own unique narratives, uncovering meaning in the subtle imprints left by time and human presence.
Xilin Hu’s “Multi-wearing Jewellery” series uses a sophisticated structure, allowing the wearer to participate in the design through free choice of combinations, giving the jewellery infinite adaptations to suit different wearing needs;
Ziling Fu’s “Assembling the Self” series transforms traditional lockets into interactive devices, exploring the multifaceted relationship between language and cultural identity through dynamic platforms for dialogue;
Zimeng Zhang’s “Window Scenery” incorporates window-like mechanisms in her designs, enabling viewers to experience poetic weather moments through physical interaction;
Zoey Filigree’s “A thousand miles thread through this day” combines calligraphy with filigree craftsmanship, inviting audiences to engage in cross-temporal dialogue through reading and observation.
