Award and Exhibition

How can objects accompany, escape, encourage dreams or make someone laugh? We all have a special relationship to things we establish surround ourselves with. Regarding the massive production and casual consumption, this gets in oblivion very often. Although, from the moment we have them, they save and tell stories about their owner and thus, they show so much more than only color, form, and function.
