→ Each piece was photographed as a whole before being closed forever (any object later integrated into the room would not be part of the Katalog otherwise I might continue until my death). I then moved on to another room, and so on.
→ In order to avoid duplicates, Post-its were affixed to drawers or cupboards whose contents had been entirely photographed.
I have excluded:
→ as a tenant, the fixed things in the house that I have not chosen, such as the bathtub, the sink, etc.;
→ food, which is fleeting;
→ objects that do not have their own volume, such as papers, letters, etc.
I photograph together:
→ any object wrapped or attached to another;
→ objects that are more than 50 identical copies in all respects (sequins, straws, etc.);
→ objects forming part of a whole still present in their original container (board games, box of cotton swabs, etc.);
→ if, on the other hand, the object is no longer in its original box, it is considered unique and photographed separately (Lego brick, marble, etc.).
Does a Lego set count as one item or 752 items + box, instructions + bags?
Or 1 keychain vs keyring + tchotchke + keys?
How many items is a bicycle?
