Death by Diamonds and Perls: Installation Art by CARIOCA

A great example of installation art, hosted in the Stirbey Palace in Bucharest. The exhibition is in the basement of the palace, where long time ago it was the wine cellar. There is a an alley of panels, each one an episode in the continuous struggle with our inner demons, and each panel is replicated in a video, the videos being arranged in adjoining rooms. The panels like a band of skulls, the reenacting videos like a remembrance. It is a project by CARIOCA STUDIO.

The artists gave this description for their work: a melancholic episode about vulnerable beauty giving birth to metaphysical injuries.

She grew up in a nice neighbourhood
But it didn't do her no good
Cause she's just a sum of her influence
Hell, and I can't tell you the difference
By the cracked windscreen on her car
Something is telling you don't you know how lucky you are
You're just like the rest of those girls

They're all death by diamonds and
Death by diamonds and
Death by diamonds and
Death by diamonds and pearls
Death by diamonds and pearls

You got your figure all nice
But the heart stays colder than ice
You got 25 grand on the bubble
And you're the one telling me that you don't think you're in trouble
I might be a fan of your insolence
But that don't make you the innocent
You're just like the rest of those girls

They're all death by diamonds and
Death by diamonds and
Death by diamonds and
Death by diamonds and pearls
