About
Objects. They talk, they narrate. They are modern storytellers. A world inhabited by billions of us and trillions of them. But as we surround ourselves with these objects, we don’t see ourselves as a part of the world, rather we imagine ourselves overlooking and presiding over it, thus disregarding our emotional relationship with them. The thesis digs deep into how we can strip these objects of their own realities, to give them the space to recreate their stories and drive their own plots, as we establish a mutual relationship with them to restore the material world around us.
