The Urge to Collect
Motives, Obsessions and Tensions
2023 || Hardcover || Holly O’Farrell e.a. || Sidestone Press
Why do we collect? Where does the urge to collect come from? This book explores the phenomenon of collecting in various contexts. Collecting is an illustration of a strong human-thing entanglement.
