“Objects do not fall into their conceptual buckets without leaving some remainder behind” (T. Adorno). I want to see that remainder, what we are missing daily when we go about our routine lives encountering but not apprehending the objects that make up our human environment.
Things normally only available as "zuhanden", superficially, in their conceptual wrapper (using Heidegger's terminology), take on a more real existence at crisis points. Any breaks from our routine time and space can bring about these ruptures in our understanding, allowing us to enter the "vorhanden" world of objects.
After objects reach their end-of-life in the capitalist cycle of consumption, the soil takes hold of them again and they evolve free of human grasp, back in their own time-flow. If by some accident these objects re-surface from their landfill metamorphic womb, they might become new objects, new concepts, new myths.
