Looking for a purpose. Consumerism and acquiring possessions as a purpose.
Develop in a direction ——> by acquisition of things/experiences/stuff to encounter
Purpose is to record things that’s have happened, to make a collection of images is your purpose, rather than the lived experience. Can’t say real experience because digesting an recording an image is real.

'Observing things that are to hand and are familiar.'
Strong experience, visiting bombed out East End as a child. Decay of urban environment.
Museum of Ice-cream: people as a brand. Branding of an individual/person, who are you if you are not YOUtm. Sense of belonging. Low income but happy because they are given a sense of family and friendship and purpose. Making other happy makes us happy. But can the staff see through it?
What does it really mean to listen to the non-human/object, and take it seriously. How can you play with this without being woke.
BOOK, Patchwork: Claire Wilcox
Pg. 121 We were having a sort-out. A decade had gone by. She hated going through old things and preferred to leave them to accrue, an archaeology of her young life. Just one box,I said, I won’t ask you to do any more.
Pg 131 Instead, it proposed a third way: fashion as an expression of artistr, veering on the edge of non-functionality, with a heightened aestheticism that owed much to preoccupation around identity and expressiveness - the wearing of clothes as an art in itself.
