Couverture / Jaquette

A fresh, expansive, unflinching and informed exploration of objects and what they can tell us about human history.

Every culture in history has imbued certain objects with special value, constructing systems and narratives to support their appreciation. Even our pre-human ancestors left behind evidence of collecting. Objects, then, tell important stories ? about humanity, creativity, what we need, and about who we really are or wish to be.
