FAUST CARDINALI
The body does not exist

September 6 – October 22, 2024

Opening on Thursday September 5 from 6 to 8 PM
in presence of the artist
and as part of PARIS DESIGN WEEK

*

The body does not exist will be Faust Cardinali’s fourth solo exhibition at MiniMasterpiece.

For 35 years, Faust Cardinali has been building an artistic universe where there is no longer any difference between a monumental installation, a sculpture and a text – for him, the artist’s jewel engenders the freedom to make all the precious materials that live coexist with the poorest, in the same desire for philosophical and formal balance / imbalance. By taking into consideration all the psychological facets of our society, through the prism of a futuristic and archaeological idea, the material becomes sensual, clumsy, deep, provocative, classic and avant-garde at the same time: new polybodies appear and question us on the very existence of the body, or at least on the idea that adornment perhaps no longer needs to be worn, because it is autonomous, autarkic.

Silver, gold, aluminum, plastic, carbonized bread, polyvinyl resin, precious stone, diamond… the ideal palette for jewelry that becomes an immense sculpture, or a monumental installation that becomes tiny.

The exhibition The body does not exist will reveal around ten new jewels – specially created
by Faust Cardinali for MiniMasterpiece.
