Entering Into Relation With an Object

2016-2017

Performative reading group with Rosemary Lee.

Entering Into Relation With an Object was an ongoing exploration evolving from a shared curiosity toward objects: their proliferation, status and possible lives. Through a series of performative reading events and exhibitions centered on the perceptual worlds of non-human beings, objects and machines, the project explored the possibility of finding a sustainable critical stance towards the objects that surround us.
