illy Collection 2002 International Flight Cappuccino Cup Saucer 6 Set Norma Jeane

Good condition No chips or cracks. Limited edition. illy Collection 2002 International Flight Cappuccino Cup Saucer 6 Sets Norma Jeane. This espresso cup designed by Norma Jeane for the Illy collection create a dream-like dimension, suspended time in which fresh linen, visions of explosions and the taste of purloined snacks are intermingled. The artist has created a series of images which depict a shower of washing machines suspended on a sky-blue background. Upon closer examination we discover that they are not life-like washing machines but copied proliferations of an ideal miniature like those used as magnets, those little objects that are generally found in the kitchen, on the fridge or on a door and used to attach notes, photos, or the shopping list. Norma Jeane’s washing machines fall from the sky, like splinters from an explosion, consumer icons blown up. This ‘shower’ conjures up a famous Italian film, Zabrinskie Point by Michelangelo Antonioni (1969) in the apocalyptic finale of which a house is blown up: clothes, books, frozen foods, and a television ‘fly’ towards the screen provoking a liberated and at the same time dream-like effect in the viewer. The images created by Norma Jeane are surreal visions which lead us to another time and space, like when we drink a coffee.
