Biography of the Artist – Vanessa Fodera
Vanessa Fodera, a French artist born in 1981, has been developing a recognized body of work for several years at the crossroads of Pop Art, contemporary art, and watch design.
His universe is based on the artistic subversion of luxury codes, used not as products, but as cultural symbols.
social status, success, desire, transmission, and relationship to time.
Through her functional works (watch box, winders, sculptures, art objects), she questions:
the value we assign to time
the place of money in our lives
The role of iconic brands as contemporary cultural landmarks.
Her creations are now part of private collections in Europe and internationally.
⸻
*Artistic Concept* – Time is Money
The inscription 'TIME IS MONEY' structures the entire reading of the work.
It acts like a universal affirmation, almost brutal, confronting the viewer with a simple yet essential question:
What kind of world are we living in? (Vuitton)
This work does not give a response.
It invites us to slow down, question our priorities, and reclaim our time.
The watch box becomes here an object of reflection, where the storage of time (the watches) interacts with the symbolic value we attribute to it.
