Lecture duration: 1:00hr
Languages: English, Hebrew.
Target Audience: Anyone who owns stuff
Keywords: collecting, objects of desire
- Why are we so attached to our belongings?
- What do they say about us?
- What is the difference between hoarding and collecting?
- What does passion have to do with all this
In this lecture I will refer to the desiring person, the desired object and the strong connection between them. What happens when this relationship becomes a collecting practice and how does it contribute to the collector’s life?
The subject of this lecture is especially close to my heart because of my M.A. research project that dealt with art collectors. I have a deep understanding of the connection between people and objects.
This is a lecture for anyone that owns stuff – all of us…
