biography
Morgane de Klerk (France, 1987) is a French–Dutch jewellery designer whose work expands into garments and costumes. Holding strong connotations to the body, movement and time, her work embraces intangibleness and instinct in the creative process, underlining the importance of media such as photography and video.
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, redefining the purpose and platforms of contemporary jewellery.

Morgane de Klerk’s (Lisieux, France, 1987) Hey device, show me privacy investigates privacy and surveillance technologies in the age of the smartphone: the increasing invisibility and dematerialization of surveillance, and how to position oneself against that as a maker of objects. De Klerk created a series of 9 aluminum pieces that serve as tokens of surveillance rather than having any actual function. They serve as decorative pieces that look like iPhones crawling up the pocket, surrounding the body; like shadows of the real thing. During the exhibition at Het Hem, De Klerk presents an interactive service where audiences can have free clay replicas made of their smartphones. SHARE
