SKIN-MUSCLE-BONE, Diorama is always fascinated by the perception of the body, this perfect machine, this mediator vessel and imminent invitation to sit in the boundary of our skin.
The French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy wrote The fragile skin of the world moved by the concern of the present, by way of which we move towards tomorrow. These essays embody not only the beauty of his writing but also his philosophical flair.
“..the skin makes visible and recognisable, what is otherwise hidden in the entanglement of organs, tissues, functions; an entanglement that, altogether, remains either incomprehensible to us, or limited to the maintenance of the body“
The body appears to oscillate between presence and absence, most paradoxically in intense feelings — feelings as sensations and feelings as emotions.
The body seems to be simultaneously the subject of highly articulated utterance and yet at perpetual risk of disappearing from our awareness.
We want to honour the body and carve the inner on the outside through light, which for us is METAL-FIRE-SUN.
For thousands of years, metal has been prized for its strength, fluidity, and quiet energy. Every piece—whether a tool, a monument, or a ring—once flowed as molten liquid, taking shape in the darkness of a mold.
At Diorama, we continue this ancient transformation, giving metal new form by casting it in the image of the human body. We pour light into anatomy, tracing valleys, curves, and hidden organs, so that each ornament becomes both a sculpture and a map of our inner landscapes.
