Abstract
This visual essay utilizes a series of images from Make Do and Mend, a participatory workshop that brought together designers, a museum conservator and the general public to explore design for repair as part of Sydney Craft Week in 2019. The photographs capture objects and materials in various states of transformation, bringing to light the aesthetic politics at play that often underpin acts of repair. The essay is a visual re-framing of repair as a form of design practice, revealing objects in various states of transformation and our changing attitudes towards them over time. As a visual narrative, the essay demonstrates the value of material knowledge exchange in shaping new aesthetic registers for object conservation and approaches to repair.
这篇视觉文章利用了一系列来自Make Do and Mend的图像,这是一个参与式研讨会,设计师、博物馆管理员和公众聚集在一起,探索修复设计,这是2019年悉尼工艺周的一部分。这些照片捕捉了处于各种转变状态的物体和材料,揭示了经常支撑修复行为的美学政治。这篇文章是对作为一种设计实践形式的修复的视觉重新框架,揭示了处于各种转变状态的物体以及我们对它们的态度随着时间的推移而变化。作为一种视觉叙事,本文展示了材料知识交流在塑造新的文物保护和修复方法的美学记录方面的价值。
