Video, HD, 1080 x 1920, 36'03'', no sound
Furnitures and objects amassed for decades and generations are being sold in an auction. It is held in the house of their owners. Merchants and amateurs are invading this private sphere to search, estimate and buy. The auctioneer speaks loud and clear, but the video is mute. For some objects prices are rising quickly, others barely interest anyone, faces tell. This video records the last moment they were all together as part of a common history. The images focus on their manipulation.
