biography
Morgane de Klerk is a French–Dutch jewellery designer whose work expands into garments. Holding strong connotations to the body, movement and time, her work embraces intangibleness in the creative process.
Focusing on tradition and crafts as well as on technology and innovation, de Klerk explores the way in which our connection to materials has changed since the digital age. Hey Device, show me Privacy
Who is assisting who, nowadays? Is it the object or the user?
The mixed-media installation aims to raise awareness on the value of the numerous personal data collected, and on the loss of privacy and control generated from the quantification of our behaviours.
It consists in a series of tangible objects; hybrids between devices and jewellery, protecting their users from being unwillingly traced and/or reminding them that devices are essentially tools to benefit from.
This reciprocity between the object and the user is an interaction based on trust —a type of trust currently put at stake. SHARE
