Shoes For Lovers

Entitled “12 Shoes For 12 Lovers”, Sebastian Errazuriz’s exhibition features 12 shoe sculptures, each inspired by a real former girlfriend or lover.

The sculptures are rendered with state-of-the art 3-D printing technology, through which the artist explores the boundaries between art and product design.

A 3D printer converts a digital file into a three dimensional object that can be used for everyday life purposes. The “ink” is a plastic filament that melts under heat and is deposited layer upon layer via a stylus guided by the code in a digital file that can be easily modified to fit the desires of the end user.

Errazuriz’s sculptures invite people to imagine a future of product customization in a world of on-demand consumption where every idea or fantasy might be rendered possible.
