Beneath the delicate weave of an extraordinary late Neo-Classical wall covering by Tassinari & Châtel, crafted in cut and uncut silk velours in Lyon, France, circa 1870, Magnus Gjoen finds a story that transcends time. Love Survives the Ruins whispers of hearts that endure when walls crumble and centuries pass. The luxurious fabric, once a symbol of status and beauty in elite Parisian salons, becomes a vessel for memory and resilience. In Gjoen’s vision, love is both fragile and unyielding, leaving its luminous trace even in the ruins of the past – a quiet testament that passion, like art, survives both devastation and the passage of time.
Dedicated to ‘Mormor’, (mother’s mother/grandmother in Norwegian) of which this fabric reminds.
