through bejewelling rotting fruits, argentinian artist luciana rondolini interrogates and explores the idea of beauty and value with a project titled 'tiffany'.
bananas, apples and pears are encrusted with a skin of diamantes, while the decaying inner flesh is deliberately exposed - drawing parallels to real life
and the social maladies stemming from manufactured aesthetic, beauty and impersonal artificiality.
