Monkey & Chicken par Joshua Cannone

Joshua Cannone, Grand prix du jury Accessoires 2022

Looking back at the chimp-like ancestors we descend from to our current rule over the animal kingdom, have we lost our most primal survival instincts? By looking into leather goods as a craft, I sought to draw parallels between humans and animals. Drawing inspiration from the views of Thomas Hobbes reflected in Golding’s novel Lord of the flies, I sought to translate my childhood memories of New York City.
