8 small pieces of jewelry made of silver and placed on a plinth, similar to those used by museums and jewelry stores to display their most precious objects and jewelry. The pieces are shaped like buildings, representations of places of repression, prisons, torture houses, military buildings that sometimes we do not even know their function. They start from reality, but also from our mental projection of these places. This work is influenced by M. Foucault’s essays on spaces of control and surveillance, as well as by Borges’ labyrinths. <\/span><\/p>

The Crown Jewels<\/span><\/i> were conceived thinking of their possible impact on two audiences: those living under autocratic and repressive political systems-where human rights are obviously suppressed-and those in systems that claim to have resolved such contradictions, as is the case in Europe and the United States.
<\/span>
<\/span>The question always remains as to whether the more \u201ccivilized\u201d societies have really put an end to all the coercion, torture and misery inflicted by state mechanisms. This work has no moralizing pretensions, but is simply a proof of our uncivilization. <\/span><\/p>
