Ghost Orchid is a collaborative project with the photographer Irene Bruni which seeks to explore the links between the hard infrastructural imaginary of metals and the soft and fragile networks of the material world, through the making of wearable sculptures. Observing the phantasmatic constructions of the body and other material excesses, Ghost Orchid’s designs evoke hauntings of involuntary memories, enmeshed in an unpredictable representation of the past produced by the use of analogue photography. Radiating a fragmented sense of loss, these polaroids unveil traces of the sculptural jewerly pieces that appear imperfect and partially floating in a state of absent presence.
