Like everything else she does, Denise Julia Reytan’s project EINTR8 calls into question the traditional values of society. Her new interpretation of costumes and costume jewellery seek ornamental emancipation and the unconditional beauty of colour, form, and material.
The bright interplay play of materials, borders, rhinestones, carefully collected objects and large-format ornaments creates gorgeous orchestrations at and on the body. For Reytan, these objects are snapshots of her time and culture.
