Object Biography

Object biography is the story of an object’s life, tracing its origins, ownership, and significance over time. It explores how the object was made, who used it, and the contexts in which it has existed. This narrative helps us understand the cultural, historical, or personal importance attached to the object, revealing its journey through different periods and people. Essentially, it’s like a history book for an individual item, providing insights into its past and how it has evolved in meaning and value across different viewers and eras.
