““Questions to Objects” is an opportunity for deep reflection on the meaning of gold, its metamorphosis and the contemporary value of design. After a long career as a Belgian designer, Nedda El-Asmar (b. 1968) approaches gold from a radical conceptual perspective: what is the lifespan of a golden object beyond the economic value of the gold that other people lend her so that objects take shape? Vlad Ionescu addresses this question in an essay on the cultural meaning of materials, the smelting of gold and the transformation of materials whose meaning determines our memory and existence. The book is a duo of voices concerned with how we deal with time, materiality and the memory of things. IN DUTCH!
