Title thesis:
An historical analysis of object and culture
Subject:
The thesis is an attempt to analyze the objective world and its complications in culture. Often with a dialectical-materialist method and sometimes very speculative. Marx’s theory of alienation and Hannah Arendt’s concept of Homo Faber are an important guidance throughout the thesis. The process with its conclusions is structured in a historical context to regain a conscious mind toward the development of the object and its discontents. It is not presented in a chronological order but instead has two different timelines that intersect at a certain point. One timeline is from the perspective of production and the other of consumption. In the end I try to employ an Object Oriented Ontological approach to formulate new questions regarding objects.

A hole in the floor becomes a space, becomes a story Building walls,
not for the ceiling, but to parallel spaces. Pieces of wood turned into shapes of the imagination, in space and object. To work is not to think, to build is to understand. A man must eat, create and continue. The worker and the thinker, a builder and a baker. A wall becomes a road, becomes a car.
