    next steps

    • more physical prototypes inspired by Stuart Candy (“to make a future tangible”)
    • a map for the 80s in luxembourg (to help with the archival work)
    • have more fun with film

    first draft:

    exploring the tension between an exhibited object and its untold story.

    how to reveal the emotional value?

    tryouts through context:

    putting the jacket in a museum context, it sometimes:

    • fits the context
    • changes the meaning of the jacket
    • parodises the other objects

    daily context:

    • you need to accentuate the jacket somehow

    research about ethnographic work:

    mini “museum-ish” work on my wall

    moving forward:

    my own family as base for ethnographic work

    -> best way for me to explore the missing stories

    plan:

    in november:

    22nd: arrival, going to the attic, finding a few objects

    23rd: reducing the objects to a few, mapping it out

    24th: detailing it out, make single interviews

    25th: finishing single interviews, make the final interview

    26th: going back to vienna

    My object, still the jacket:

    Then:

    Brainstorm

    Crystalisation:

    • revealing the hidden story of objects
    • object as a connection to my family/culture/heritage (if I have heritage)
    • me vs aunt: who wore it better? (analyzing the different circumstances, expectations)

    Questions I had afterwards:

    • What’s the story behind my object?
    • What exact expectations are tied to it?
    • What was it like being young in the 70-80’s in Luxembourg?
    • What does wearing this jacket mean to me/to my aunt?
    • How can ethnological museums represent that emotional value?

    I felt kind of stuck…

    Then I did some free writing and some…

    Research:

    • Museum of Broken Relationships Zagreb
    • La résistance des bijoux by Ariella Aïsha Azoulay and The Hare with Amber Eyes by Edmund de Waal
    • No man’s Land, 2010, Christian Boltanski

    some lil sketches:

    Next Steps:

    • Actually talk to my family
    • Explore and experiment with the tension between an ethnological description and personal value
