If we all live and work in the same city, how similar and how different are the objects that we come into contact with most in our daily lives?
Exploring the relationship between individuals and their objects, Design Expert, Artist, Future Archeologist and Photographic Novelist Paula Zuccotti’s exhibition ‘Every Thing We Touch - Dubai Design Week’ examines the lives of others, observing and understanding people through the physical footprint of the objects they interact with in a day.
The exhibition is based on her acclaimed book 'Every Thing We Touch' (published by Viking – Penguin Random House) where Paula travelled the world with the single premise in mind ‘Can we make sense of someone else’s life through the object they touch in a day?’ It's an artistic portrayal of the daily physical footprint of over 60 unique individuals from the around the world. 'Everything We Touch' entered the public consciousness globally to great acclaim, leading to national media interviews and appearances, photography awards and art gallery exhibitions worldwide.
‘Every Thing We Touch - Dubai Design Week’ will explore the cultures that make up Dubai, using everyday artifacts as the storytellers. It’s the art of future archeology, many of the things we know about past civilizations are from the insights gathered through their objects.
Throughout the exhibition, the designer will reflect on the customs, traditions and behaviors of the different people and cultures of Dubai, narrating these interactions through the objects that make up the fabric of our daily lives.
