Kintsugi-19

Inspired by the ancient technique of kintsugi, this photograph represents the fragility of the human body, covering it with traditional patterns of antique Chinese porcelain and repairing its “fractures” with gold.

From the mask, the gold spreads across the body, tracing lungs through its cracks. In this way, it alludes to the protective function of the mask during the COVID-19 pandemic, safeguarding the respiratory system against a global threat.

It is important to avoid direct contact with sunlight. If you want to save the artwork, instead of having it exposed, it should be done in a drawer and protected with a tissue paper or any other soft paper.

If you exhibit the artwork in a room, it must be protected by glass or methacrylate with UV protection.

If you want to frame it, the materials must be acid free as well as the passepartout. If the frame is made of wood and is in direct contact with the photo, it must be made of natural wood and without varnish.

Adhesives must also be acid free. If not, any other adhesive could leave yellow marks and deteriorate the support.

The work should never be touched directly with the hands in order to avoid leaving traces of grease or moisture. You have to touch it with cotton gloves like the ones that we enclose inside the package.

Do not screw the photograph back on after it has been removed from the tube in case you have received it like that.

Store the work in a cool, dry place preferably at a room temperature between 10º and 30º with a relative humidity between 49% and 60%.

If you have acquired more than one photograph, they should never be touched between them since the surface is very sensitive. You should always put a tissue paper or, at least, another soft paper between the both of them.

A pair of white cotton gloves and a personalized postcard.

The artwork is shipped flat or rolled in a tube depending on the size, well protected with bubble wrap.
