What is it?
Artist Agathe Snow and German eyewear label MYKITA created the ‘’All Access World” show with a pair of ‘monumental’ sunglasses. On these special limited glasses you see the etchings of two separated skylines like Manhattan and the Egyptian Pyramids of Giza. These products belong to the ‘All Access World’ Exhibition for a show in Berlin. This exhibition examines the relationship of people and specific surroundings near monuments.Filled with lot’s of mobile sculptures, large-scale wall collages, video works and more, the exhibit shows the factors that bind people to places.
Why it’s cool?
The artist believes that monuments should be "available as products". The skylines were added in gold to the inner side of the glasses, so the wearer barely notices it.
These sunglasses are all handmade at the Mykita workshop, each pair is individually numbered on the temple and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Agathe Snow. By paying €370 you will ‘own’ a monument on your glasses.
"Monuments are a contradiction. Things that depend on the act of remembering cannot be static. How can you be of a moment in history yet speak of timelessness?" – Agathe Snow
