Artist and photographer Paula Zuccotti has compiled a catalog of things that physically and emotionally accompany a person throughout one day. To do this, she traveled the world and asked people to collect all the things they had touched in the last 24 hours.
Project participants from a wide range of age, cultural, professional and social groups, from a small Japanese child to an Arizona cowboy, helped her document their belongings, arranging them within a single frame. The resulting photographs were included in the series “Everything we touch” and the photo album of the same name. These works are intended to answer the question of whether we can understand someone's life just by looking at the objects with which the person interacted throughout the day.
