reclaimed sculpture (2009)

At a certain point, objects that surround us are embedded with value by the mere fact of being hoarded and therefore the subjects of custody and conservation. This theory equates the "value" of exchangeable goods or services, commodities or artworks with the amount of attention they require and accumulate. Avidity is therefore culturally moulded both by the intensity and duration of the yearning and its subsequent gratification. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial to intervening in social metabolism patterns and the circulation of transformed resources.
