Jeweled Triangle David Lynch Continuing the fruitful relationship between David Lynch and the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Cartier gave the artist and director carte blanche to create a singular piece in 2009: Jeweled Triangle. Using precious and semi-precious stones, David Lynch reinvented an everyday object close to his heart: a lamp. When lit, this luminous work, a machine in motion, creates a decidedly “Lynchian” atmosphere. Combined with the rhythmical movement of the three colored gems – citrine, amethyst, green beryl – the light dancing over the smooth white metal shows the ease with which David Lynch plunges us into his mysterious, surrealistic and surprising world. In keeping with the intrinsically hypnotic power of gemstones, this lamp explores our relationship to light, reflections and the symbolism of stones, while questioning the way we relate to everyday objects. Jeweled Triangle was first shown at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2009 along with Alessandro Mendini’s Cartier Column. On Cartier’s initiative, David Lynch also directed a short film entitled Diamonds, Gold and Dreams for the occasion. This cosmic work – a veritable kaleidoscope of magnified diamonds – was projected directly on the Cartier Dome, which it transformed into an elaborate planetarium. For the Cartier joaillier des arts exhibition at the Fondation Cartier, the film will again be screened in a dome, allowing viewers to lose themselves in a world of infinite dreams. 6
