Fabian Marti
Golden Egg

Fabian Marti :: Golden Egg

One recurring symbol that illustrates where Marti’s interests intersect is the gesture of the fingerprint, not only a collection of concentric ovals akin to psychedelic animations but also a means of printing, and thus reproduction. Marti’s pendants entitled Golden Egg and Silver Egg for GEMS AND LADDERS are a fresh iteration of the oval form. Pieces of the off-cuts created through a jeweller’s working, gold and silver respectively, are fixed within clear resin ovals. The transparent material also anchors the chains from which the pendants hang. In a similar fashion to Marti’s photogram works, which short-circuit the photography process, his pendants do not describe forms but enable a direct presentation of the shavings, dust and other small elements of the precious metals. Each piece is thus not a copy, but a unique element within the edition.
