the everyday Making the Ordinary Extraordinary
Denika Adams
“In a first approximation, the ever yday is what we are first of all, and most of ten: at work, at leisure, awake, in the street, in private existence. The ever yday, then is ourselves, ordinarily”... but what we do not factor in is that the ever yday objects and physical traces conver t into extrodinar y narratives and new meanings. (Blanchot, 1962)
Therefore, the...”ordinar y event leads to the beauty and under standing of the world.” (Ruppersberg, 1985)
