Sofia Björkman and Karin Roy Andersson attended the 2020 Parcours Bijoux—the third edition—and generously sent in photos to share with AJF’s readers. (And thank you to Ben Lignel for contributing a photo, as well!) Parcours Bijoux hosted some 30 events; this photo essay includes impressions from 10 different exhibitions, including one Björkman and Andersson put on together. Don’t you wish you were in the City of Lights to enjoy this triennial?

In l’Envers du Corps, 16 international jewelry artists—Caroline Aubry, Louise Barthélémy, Xiao Chen, Marion Colasse, Anne Couteau, Agnès Dubois, Marta Fernandez-Caballero, Stéphane Landureau, Hyun-Jung Lee, Franck Massé, Anne Milbeau, Isabelle Molénat, Camille Moncomble, Fabienne Tixier, Jean-Marc Waszack, and Xiaojia Wang Waszack—explore and question the "Other Side of the Body," mapping it randomly. Mysterious, real, or imagined, the inner body is experienced in a sensory space beyond the five senses. This unseen part, unobtrusive yet compelling, encapsulates our raw identity, memory and heritage, reflecting our human condition and intimate relationship with the world. In a free interpretation of the bond created with these hidden areas of the body by each artist, the other side comes to the surface in a sudden connection between outside and inside.Necklace by Isabelle Molénat\"")

With Collect/Connect Bijoux Contemporains, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs exhibits creations by Julie Decubber in its jewelry gallery. Continuing her explorations of ceramics, she adapts the material to the body in a contemporary vision. Using the rejects of 15 ceramists, Decubber has created a collection of "bijouxrécits" (jewellerytales) that pay tribute to them and reveal their personalities superimposed on her own, like exquisite corpses. Fragments and jewelry develop a new connection: the relationship with intimacy. Half exhibition, half documentary, the circuit is immersed in a sound landscape recorded during meetings in the field.Necklace by Julie Decubber\"")
