My areas of research are:
Op shop societal links:
• Acknowledging multiples cycle of consumption
• Life history of material articles (Second-hand goods)
• What and where do articles come from and what has been their history hitherto?
• What is considered an ideal history for a given item and how was an object used and how did its status change within the institutional context?
• What happens when it is at the end of its useful life?
• Changing status of articles over time and the ways in which these goods produce social identity, which in turn is linked to lifestyle.
Repetition:
"Except in the context of some change or progression, any repetition taking place in advancing time is undiscussible. The growth of the work, even from one identical line to another, makes exact repetition impossible [...] Repetition is a nonverbal state; it cannot be committed to any art that occurs in time." (Kawin, Telling It Again and Again)
