In his installations, Petrit Halilaj continually uses objects that come from nature such as branches, stuffed animals or rocks. It also uses man-made objects such as furniture, documents, or sculptures that when related to natural objects, produce new meanings and tell stories. Have you ever wondered if the objects you have are capable of telling your story?

We propose the following:

Materials:
  • Your cupboard
  • The objects you find inside it
  • A notebook and a pencil
Steps:
Step One

Look carefully at all the items you find inside the cupboard.
Step Two
ui/arrows/down Created with Sketch.
Record what you find, imagining that you do not know the name of the objects. For example, instead of writing “jar of olives”, you could write “transparent container with small green balls”. This recolection of data can be done as a list or as a drawing.
Step Three

Imagine that you are an explorer of the future and try to describe what each object is for.
