The jewellery exhibited fits two worlds – the dream promised to me by predictions and sci-fi movies and the current world, where one is recommended to sing “Happy Birthday” twice while washing hands, so that a grown-up’s hands could get thoroughly clean.
Safety vessels are a part of the survival kit of a future that is descending into triviality – we will not be using our jetpacks to jump into exhilarating adventures. Instead, before leaving home, we will check whether the batteries are fully loaded and if we have our ice grips, corkscrew, credit card and a bar of soap with us.
The dreams we are promised haven’t changed much – however now I can see more clearly that the promises are just old tricks poured into new moulds.
