Sneaker II

Konstantin von Riben carves iconic symbols of consumption in stone. This is how a white marble sneaker turns into a monument not to a hero, but to the obsession of "having": possession appears as a form of captivity. The whiteness of marble is a sarcophagus for a fleeting fashion that ironically leaves the momentary frozen in eternity. The desire for possession has petrified. There is no movement in the marble gravity — only the dead weight of status. It is impossible to escape in these chains, you can only stand under the weight of your own desire — an eternal monument to the thirst to own.
