Jodorowsky‘s films are primal twists wrapped around colour wrapped around your eye socket. And yet every time I watch Holy Mountain I fall asleep. The layered optical overload sends me dreaming.
MANIAMANIA‘s design outputs are of this ilk – wild, multifaceted and phantasmagorical. Their profusion of influences and first comprehensive jewellery collection ‘Real Life Awaits Us’, has a resemblance to Jodorowsky: Mesoamerican iconography, alchemy, geology, shamanism, magic.**Repositioning the architecture of nature like stalactites, and crystal hunks like Ferruginous Quartz and Herkimer diamond crystals as neck plates, cuffs, rings and amulets, Sydney duo MANIAMANIA serve up these forms for a lengthy residence on your skin.
Rich in size, material and proportion, their pieces are new-wordly yet mechanical, hand-made yet contemporary and serve to re-inform us that adornment can be obsessive, individual and primal.
