Attai Chen: “All the World’s a Stage”

“All the World’s a Stage” grants an in-depth insight into the fascinating oeuvre of the artist Attai Chen (1979–2023). The four series of jewellery presented in the book take a poetical look at the perpetual becoming and passing of life and of things, reflecting the complexity of these existential themes, at times with humor, other times with foreboding. In 2022 the artist himself described it thus: “I was always fascinated by the endless cyclical flow of things, be they in nature or in the man-made world; the movement of growth aimed at the fleeting moment of its realization, the consummation of this moment, followed by decay and finally a new beginning.”
