The project
Greed, emptiness, beauty, mortality and intimacy are the sources of inspiration for artist Ted Noten’s anti-jewellery objects. By desecrating the jewellery and robbing it of its status and familiar appearance, Noten shows its symbolic value.

Committee
With this series of products, Ted Noten provokes in an ironic way discussions about the female identity from a male perspective. The result is visually stimulating and provocative, and fuels the viewer’s curiosity.
