A list of objects without explication can do this philosophical work of drawing our attention towards them with greater attentiveness… In response to my last post which communicated confusion regarding PB1’s script, we decided to narrate our ‘object’ through a list format. A discussion in class today, questioned whether perhaps an object itself tells us more then its relativism/relationships that surround it.
Lists have the ability to leave open interpretation, whilst simultaneously closing the door for subjective objectification. This is due to the nature of explanation, and that is can’t help but simplify objects because of its abstracts.
Attached is a list of items I experienced whilst at our object – a park.
– grass – metal – stones – pebbles – sand – roots – trunk – trees – bark – leaves – stems – water – dirt
