With the Camerae project, Maxalto explores the relationship between design, art and craftsmanship by inviting special guests to interpret the brand’s stage through their own works.
In the context of “CAMERAE. ACT TWO,” the special guest is Karolina Maszkiewicz, a Polish-American artist living in Los Angeles, who transforms some of the Max Alto brand’s environments by introducing four kinetic works that aim to evoke atmospheres inspired mainly by the natural landscape: one from the Suspencia series, made of raw wood, and three Serpsâtes, sculptures made of organic materials.
Living in Los Angeles gives the artist the opportunity to be in one of the largest metropolises in the United States and, at the same time, to live totally in contact and symbiosis with his primary source of inspiration and research: nature. The latter, in fact, has always played a main role in Karolina’s life and work and is reflected in the works created for Maxalto using simple materials such as raw wood and plant seeds with which she intends to evoke the typical atmospheres of natural landscapes.
The choice to create kinetic structures that play on balance, movement and rotation is linked to the artist’s reflection on the passage of time and the fundamental value of regeneration. The works are made from what the artist considers to be “nature’s waste”: that is, wood or plant pods that have been collected, cleaned, and shaped to be inserted into these sculptures.
The underlying goal of the works created by Karolina Maszkiewicz is to give a feeling of peace and allow time to admire the beauty of the most precious commodity we have, nature.
