#28 Object Talks: Caitlin's Things
A 100-day project where Dan Azic goes through his partner's 'clutter'
Welcome to Objectively #28! Object Talks is a sub-series on conversations with creatives who work with objects—such as makers, collectors, and curators—about their practice.
“I see a lot of these items in my home every day, but I had never asked about them.” This was what Dan Azic realised in the midst of his project, Caitlin’s Things.
To learn more about his partner Caitlin, Dan started the 100-day project where she would recount the stories of her things while he documents them - one thing a day. Their conversations have led to uncovering personal histories unknown to Dan, and got him thinking about his own relationship to things.
As he approaches the end of the project, we discussed how it has impacted their relationship, curbing taste homogenisation, and how he’s changed his mind on ‘clutter’.
