The work establishes its foundation in the essay The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction by Ursula K. Le Guin, which re-examines the history of storytelling by focusing on the relationship of the “hunter-gatherer” and its role in the collective imagination. The thesis suggests that the first human invention was the bag for gathering food, not a weapon. Questioning traditional narratives opens space for new interpretations of the past and highlights the importance of these narratives in shaping history.
The objects we cherish, keep and carry actually serve as “anchoring points” in which we store our identities. The research, which uncovered the emotional depth of seemingly trivial objects through the stories of their owners, proved to be a key thesis for speculating about a new type of object; artifacts of the future. These hybrid objects function as a method of reverse engineering; a kind of mechanism that provokes the need for one’s own contextualization.
The final outcome places focus on the eternal need for context, which gives us meaning amid the chaos of the Universe.
