The
curation of an exhibition shapes the viewers perspective of the objects presented. For this
exhibition, supervised by Nathalie Du Pasquier, everyday objects where selected, arranged and set into scenarios. Through the contexts of the presentations the objects
take on new meanings and their inherent banality is brought into question.
Leftovers
We all have these items around the house, they have lost their purpose, are cast aside and forgotten. These things occupy our space but we rarely notice. The life of the unused object is a lonely one.

Once it reaches a certain age, the bar of soap, worn down and slender, will often find itself
among other, more full and vital contemporaries. It waits, forgotten, only to be later thrown
away, or slowly wash down the drain.
The unread book lies like an injured member of the pack. It remains with its kin, in hopes that
one day it will get read, but its future is far from certain.
In the desolate wasteland of the freezer one can sometimes find forgotten sealife. Its origins
are often mysterious, but one thing is clear, the likelihood of it making it to the dinner plate is
quite remote.
