ideas, research and where we started

HOW everyday OBJECTS CAN CONNECT TO EACH OTHER

We (re)imagine the vitrine as a place of action, a playground.
Fire, kinetic objects, natural decay, processes both of LIFE and DEATH.

Processes that sooner or later will come to an end.
The vitrine will remain empty, with the imprints of that life.

Exhibiting a vitrine marks the end of starring at neither dead nor alive objects. A new museum is established.

The marks of a lived life seem more interesting to us.

The ashes, leaving space to imagine and remember.

What is the role of the vitrine within the context of an ethnographic museum in the future? How do we interact with objects displayed inside these vitrines? What is the role of the museum as a container of culture, thus a vitrine itself?

MEMORIES of labels

RETHINKING THE ‘BOX’

OBJECT EXAMPLES

“living” objects have the ability to make these moulds.

The mould is caught in the vitrine.

When the object dies, it is removed, buried, no longer needed.

Can photographs die? What purposes and functions of a photograph have outside memory and story?

The mould – steps in dirt leave an impression of our shoes behind.

objects that capture sound and smell

QUESTIONS: Is it about the Vitrine? Most objects within vitrines are decontextualized and can be therefore distorted. We are looking to show what imprints, marks, distortion/disruption within this context.

Memory of labels? Embracing contradictions

Can objects hold feelings? a more than human way of re-storytelling?
