What Is Another Yesterday?
I collect things... old cinema tickets because they remind me of the movies I went to and who I was with
... old magazines even though the
articles are years out of date because they remind me of the first day I read them and what was new and cutting edge at the time
... old boxes for example every Apple product
I have bought I still have it's box because they are so beautifully designed and I wish to treasure
them forever.
These are but a few example of things I like to horde, not for the literal value that they hold, as most have none
now, but for the memories they
bring back for me and give a chronological order to my life.
Another Yesterday is where I want people like me to share their pictures of such items.
What I did
I conducted a social experiment on a group of individuals who replied to me when I went out looking for people who collect things.
I asked these people to take pictures of as many items as they could find that held sentimental value to them and either add them to their Flickr
accounts or send them to directly to me. I then designed gallery pages for each individual and you can now view these in the collections page.
This website is an art piece of results on how different people can come together with the same idea and an attempt to discover the answer to the
question;
Why do we collect things?
What you can do
The experiment may have ended but new visitors can always add new pictures to the Another Yesterday Flickr group, these pictures are then
streamed into the live gallery page and is updated instantly.
