With "Introspectus", KPM Berlin and Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin are once again coming together to have the pure white KPM canvas reworked by an internationally successful avant-garde artist following collaborations with Stefan Marx and Jean Jullien: since October 2018, illustrator Eline van Dam, alias Zeloot, has been interpreting the classic CADRE vase from 1967.
With the KPM+ format, the Berlin manufactory has institutionalized a kind of docking station for the creative dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary art. Together with SZ-Magazin, this approach between Zeloot and KPM Berlin was transferred into four different versions of the CADRE vase under the title "Introspectus". In sizes 0 to 3, the vases in the limited Artist Edition show Zeloot's classic characters in a state of self-reflection and reflection on others.
The vases of the limited Artist Edition in sizes CADRE 0 to 3 Zeloots show classic characters in a state of self-reflection and reflection on others. Eline van Dam's illustrations of faces, striking in form and color, follow the idea that people can experience a wide range of thoughts, emotions and memories that are reflected in their facial features.
