Kurzbeschreibung

Hair as a material. It is flexible, elastic, a carrier of human information, personal data, and emotions. H. Zhou uses hair as a material in her jewellery. It is hair from herself, from friends, and from strangers ordered on the World Wide Web. Inspired by Chinese traditions of different dynasties, she creates connections through the artisanal techniques of weaving. The hair is processed into fabrics with the finest precision. Her jewellery stores both objective data and the embodiment of the romantic relationship between two people.
