Phylogenesis 01 consists of a collection of 15 pieces of jewelry combined with an art installation.

Phylogenesis (from greek “species”) indicates the ‘growing form” and its development in three dimensional space. The pictures used in this collection come from the work of the photographer Muybridge (1830/1904) which reveal clearly this idea of dinamic movement and transformation. The simbolical minimal shapes are recombined together through a process that reflects the variations and the modularity of the same shape. The figures are added, traslated and finally are sewing together with silk thread to create complex compositive systems. Between manuality and tecnology, the aim of the research is to reveals how differents fields as philosophy, antropology, photography can let us to a new materic hybrid culture.
