Tchotchkes

Polite objects carrying impolite history. Luxury, under surveillance.
Tchotchkes are mass-produced objects that secretly carry outlaw mythology. Imagery is lifted from acts of insurgency, banned archives, redacted files.  The shelf becomes a smuggler.

• Wanted posters as fashion
• State documents become accessories
• Objects for the home re-coded as rebellion
