Love stories move and inspire us. Objects encapsulate the precious moments we shared with our darlings, the promises made, the voices or memories that keep returning. Objects we carry, wear, present or share, and in particular jewelry, are crystallizations of our emotions, desires, hopes, heart aches, tears, maturity.
By revealing the story behind the objects we can make contact with the art lover’s yearning to find in our work, in our creations, the emotional situation we cannot express in words.
❤ SHORT MOVIES ABOUT LOVE & OBJECTS invited artists and designers to direct and produce short videos on love and their favorite objects.
The artists' videos form an amalgam of the multiple facets of love: they talk about happiness and fragility, passion and adversity, infatuation and disappointment, separation and return, death and existence, spirituality and union, and prove jewelry's storytelling power. The medium video is the best way to make the audience understand hidden and charming facets of the artist's work and life philosophy, and it boosts the artist's creative profile like no other medium.
A special edition of SHORT MOVIES ABOUT LOVE & OBJECTS was presented at Grassimesse / GRASSI Museum of Applied Arts in Leipzig in October 2025. All videos will be available online on this website from 6 March 2026.
