Biography and objects. Spaces of the memory

Abstract

The objectives configure a biography, and vice versa, these are the selective or accumulative results of a life. After that life, the objectives become witnesses, sometimes revered and sometimes uneducated, in the same sense that the authors would be. We do not seek refuge in antiques, instead in everyday objects, those that make our immediate surroundings, set in a functional manner, sometimes decorative, before projecting themselves in different destinations after the disappearance of its owner. The link between our mind and objects varies depending on the biography attached between the object and its owner. The surroundings reflect the personality with an enormous precision. The memories of objects and their owners presents us with a field of reflection on our capacity to understand to what we confront ourselves in a museum, in an exposition, in a surrounding that doesn’t present us with its witness, the majority of these times out of its contextualization of its narration.
