Fragment(s) is an exploration and experimentation to capture the limits and the relationships between molding techniques, kaolin, firing and colors. This limited edition of porcelain vases captures the break and decay of a mold to reveal the beauty in deterioration and create a memory of what would otherwise be discarded.

The designers developed unique casting techniques to capture direct impressions of the residues of the porcelain industry of Jingdezhen setting forth a reminiscence of the history of the city and creating a new archeology.

As a conceptual project it is an intellectual recognition of the entropy of processes and forms, an incursion in time-honored practices and age-old shapes that become the ‘memory’ of the fragment and a transgression of the tradition.

Fragment(s) also explores material and symbolic parameters in order to produce a ‘post archeological iconography’.
