Swatch BLUE PASTA by Miralda

Blue Pasta (GG138) is conceptual and sensuous in the same moment. A blue-tinted photographic image of elbow macaroni, luminescent as a silver gelatine print, extends the length of the strap. The image is both amusing and gorgeous, due to the shine of specular highlights and the mysterious banks of darkness between the macaroni. The dial, white with black script, directs the viewer to follow the steps of a recipe for blue-dyed pasta, and the hands are a knife, fork and spoon. An aesthetically convincing, ironic and thought-provoking piece, Miralda’s Blue Pasta is a sophisticated and witty contribution to the story of Swatch and Art.
