“Absolutely everything went into it: from my daughter’s holey sock to my son’s Lego, to my vibrator, to my anti-anxiety medication, to everything, absolutely everything.“ – Barbara Iweins
After moving for the eleventh time, Barbara Iweins, photographer and artist from Brussels, started a singular work of introspection: photographing one by one the 12,795 objects of her house, indexing and classifying them by color, material, frequency of use… The crazy project of Katalog lasted more than four years. From this “necessary therapy”, she imagined a catalog with graphic and pop compositions – a fascinating mirror of our consumer society – where an intimate self-portrait is revealed, carried by 50 short stories both funny and moving.
