As I said when collecting the most important part of the whole process is the items themselves. Without these items we wouldn’t have our gallery. Each object has a story behind it to why it was broken, lost and abandoned. We wanted the objects to fit into a few different subheadings so that when we give the audience the opportunity to map their own path out they will all have different ideas to watch certain items will fit in to. These subheadings being; Familiar Findings, Adults Forbidden, Cyborg Particles and Rain Protectors. It will be completely up to each individual to choose where they think it should go. With items like the television it could come under two different subheadings, either familiar findings or cyborg particles. People may see it being one and some may see it see other, that’s why it’s so interesting and people’s views are taken into account.
Do they have a specific meaning?
People may wonder if they have a special meaning behind the objects, they haven’t aside from them being classed as lost, abandoned or broken and them being thrown out for us to find. We originally thought about giving the objects a description for the items, however on reflection we have thought that maybe it could be misleading and it could tell them what to think already and we don’t want that. We are allowing them to see the objects how they want to see them.
