Abstract
Vessels of Vanitas II was shown first at “Age of Experience” curated by Harald Kraemer in the Angewandte Innovation Laboratory.
One of the oldest cultural artefacts are vessels and urns. Created to house our bodily remains, the making of these vessels can be traced as far back as 7000 BC and resonates through all cultures and geographies.
The vessel is archetypal element and embeds the stories and context of its remains, allowing adoration, reflection and worship. The object becomes
narration. At the same time, the idea, shape, form and materiality of the
vessel has transformed throughout history. Within the different cultural
context, the depicted narration changes between the deity and ascension of
the immaterial to the imitation of the natural through the use of ornament.
