The Kitsch Issue
In the wonderful world of kitsch, where nostalgia for the past mixes with a fascination for things that even money can't buy.
Resting kitsch face
Worthless knick-knacks, say the more suspicious. Objects of added value, say the more sentimental. In the wonderful world of kitsch, where nostalgia for the past mixes with a fascination for things that even money can't buy, there are harmless-looking porcelain dolls that, at night, when we're all asleep, achieve every woman's dream: they wear the most beautiful jewellery of the season and walk around for hours, indifferent to those who suggest they've stopped in time. They know better.
Translated from the original in The Kitsch Issue, published February 2024. Full stories and credits in the print version.
