Our Things Will Outlive Us, Sabrina Bentley-Jin, 2020
We like to think that by occupying a space or commissioning an object such things become forever ours, forever tethered to us. But that notion is false. The window depicted in my photograph is of a house for sale. Seemingly uninhabited it exists in limbo between owners. Our houses, our things, in their passivity have attained plasticity. Much like the non- degradable nature of plastic, these things that we assert ownership and superiority over will outlive us. Live on without us.
