Traces, Memory, Matter is a publication exploring how everyday objects carry traces of time through use, damage, and wear — and what these subtle signs actually tell us about an object’s past life.

The book combines an essay and short theoretical texts on physical memory with a visual archive of found objects, collected from museum online archives, reselling and online marketplace platforms, lost-and-found archives, and my personal collection.

The book is bound with metal rings, a structure that allows the archive to be infinitely expanded over time. Within this binding, the book holds three fixed page formats, each defining a distinct size that marks a chapter, or a specific part of the publication.
