Moments, places, people, objects

Abstract

The Flea Market at the Market Square of Świdnica is a research area for relationships between objects, places, and times. The items collected here have causal, temporal, spatial, material, semantic, and valuable relationships with other locations and periods. By their presence on the Market they contribute to its sphere of relationships. At the same time, they entangle this space with their own connections with many other places and times close and distant. All this entangles the world with the Market, making them indistinguishable from each other. The present becomes the past; the past is the present. These conclusions concern not only the Świdnica Market Square but also other places and moments, undermining our current perception of these relations.
