Nomadic collection of things
Nomadic collection of things is a collection of various objects that I found during the first part of the Red Van Travelling Artist Residency in France & Italy, 2015.
Each item (or group of items) is a fragment that is linked to every other fragment within a countless number of narratives, strings of events. Through my action
of collecting, photographing and storing the items, they become important route markers & story tellers, part of a diary of a journey. I believe that everything is intrinsically
inter-connected, i.e. everything is connected to everything and a change within this structure effects the entire structure.The collection is to be exhibited on shelves or in a vitrine. Note that the term 'item' can also stand for a group of items.
