What Remains is an exhibition that explores the concept of time, in which each piece of jewellery appears as a relic, a tangible trace of what once was, of what has changed, and of what has faded away. Whether it be a place, a moment, or a person.
The artists brought together Marion Fillancq, Sarrah Haouas, Karine Pollastro approach jewellery not as mere adornment, but as an object of memory, of transformation, of survival. The exhibition forms part of a broader reflection on time: geological, organic, mineralogical, vital, a time that shapes, erases and transforms. It takes the form of immersive installations and participatory works, where visitors are invited to slow down, to feel, and to observe the materials and signs of a discreet yet omnipresent temporality.
Artists
Karine Pollastro explores the harmony between raw material and metal: “I draw inspiration from natural forces, material transformations, and minerals to reveal textures and organic forms.” Materials interact, blending strength and delicacy to create pieces where the uniqueness of matter is central.
A graduate of École Boulle and winner of the Ateliers de Paris Advanced Training Award, she founded Bazalte in 2020 and received the 2025 Young Talent Award from the CMA.
Her work has been shown at Empreintes gallery in Paris, Maison & Objet, OB’ART, and De Main de Maître.
Marion Fillancq is a jewelry artist trained in the crafts of glass and jewelry. For over a decade, she has been developing a unique practice of “archaeological cutting”—a hybrid of jewelry and sculpture—that has gained recognition in France and internationally. Her work explores the tension between the raw and the precious, reviving ancient techniques to question the notion of value. Her jewelry transcends mere ornamentation.
For Parcours Bijoux, she presents La Porte, a sculptural work conceived as an urban mineral. Created from humble materials gathered around the studio (paper, rubble, mirror), it questions the raw state of matter and the boundary between ruin and apparition.
