Objects and non-objects
‘Non-places’ is a phrase coined by anthropologist Marc Auge to refer to
spaces that is not significant enough to become a place. When these
generic non-places got translated into an image, the object quality
naturally arise from the act of producing an artwork and obtain a
certain tangible quality.
Non-places
Wherever a space has special meaning to us, we call it a place. It
could be your home, your office, the bar where you met your partner,
or the corner at the street where you broke up with your other half.
Non-objects
Objects has a similar definition. For entities which has a certain
particular meaning to us, we call them objects.
Is it ever possible to transfer these quality from one audience to
another? So that non-places would become places and non-objects
would become objects? It is both a salvage and a suspension.
