Dead Objects

This is a project meant to explore objects partially devoid of their original meaning. Artifacts were collected and documented between October 16th and January 23rd (2017–2018), resulting in a series of one hundred photographs.

The parameters used to choose the objects were fairly loose: some of them are completely functional, but if used today would create some degree of anachronism; others come close to being pure trash.
