Heather Kapplow, a US-based conceptual artist who has been in residence at Index for January-February 2019, studying what luxury is, invites you to take a survey about luxury and to come and participate in her research in person before she leaves at the end of February.

We all need luxuries, comforts—things or experiences that we find especially elegant or perfectly constructed in our lives—that we value more than other things regardless of what they cost.

In an effort to understand the emotional connections we have with the things we treasure most, you are invited to bring a treasured object or souvenir to DIENSTGEBÄUDE on February 22 at to discuss it with the artist, and have it photographed.

The first 24 items will be photographed with black and white Polaroid film, containing silver.
