Towards a New Interior (2012)

Ang Song Nian  

Description

We own the things in our homes, but they own us as well. Objects carry the burden or responsibilities that include acquisition, use, care, storage, and disposal. The magnitude of these responsibilities for each of us has exploded with the expanding number of items in our homes over the past few decades. Having all these possessions has caused a shift in our behaviour away from human interaction to interaction with inanimate objects.

Towards A New Interior serves as an experimental study of space and situation which explore and exploit the conceptual space between presence and absence.
