The Subjectified Object Series - Living With Things
Prototypes and Photography
Living With Things is a series of seven everyday objects, modified in their functionality. They explore how and to what degree an object can be subjectified by a person's imagination and emotions, and how intimate moments can be created between a human and an object. Through using the objects you create a symbiotic relationship - they need you as much as you need them. The project is about enhancing everyday life in poetic rather than rational ways, creating moments to make you stop and consider. The project has also been documented photographically. These photographs search for the aforementioned moments – where, when and how they take place – and then captures them. The objects and photography together encourage people to explore a different view of the world, of everyday life and therefore themselves. It won't change the world, but may alter our perception of it, and perhaps open up new ways of looking at things we often take for granted. |
