Shit by Schamoni

On November 29, 2012, Rocko Schamoni and the Hamburg goldsmith Jonathan Johnson published the satire jewelry collection "Shit by Schamoni". Rocko Schamoni on this:

“As a person and artist, I have been dealing intensively with the subject of shit for years, but I just lacked the brilliant idea to give this fascinating subject a high-quality and glamorous setting. It was only the idea and the basic design of the 'Original Shit Chain' by photographer Dorle Bahlburg, as well as the collaboration with goldsmith Jonathan Johnson, that led to the decisive step in the direction of the collection. Now, in times of crisis, to make shit out of gold and thus to reverse the conventional production cycle is not only an artistic, but also a political statement. We are also looking forward to soon being able to come up with the same content in the field of patisserie and the world of perfume. "
