Everything we touch during the day, or what the everyday things of an individual can tell us about
Categories: One Day | Photo project | Society
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/everything-we-touch-during-the-day-or-what-the-everyday-things-of-an-individual-can-tell-us-about.htmlArtist and photographer Paula Zucotti has compiled a catalog of things that physically and emotionally accompany a person for 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 variety of age, cultural, professional and social groups, from a Japanese small child to a cowboy from Arizona, helped her document her belongings by laying them out within one frame. The resulting images were included in the series "Everything we touch" (Everything we touch) and the photo album of the same name. These works are designed to answer the question of whether we can understand someone's life only by looking at the objects with which a person interacted throughout the day.
"I felt the need to capture our current interaction with these objects," says the artist. — Much of what we know about bygone civilizations is based on the objects of that time. Tools, utensils, clothing, manuscripts and art. Thanks to these things, we learned about how our ancestors worked, who they hunted, what they grew and ate, and how they dressed or expressed themselves. Will modern things be able to do the same?"
