statement

The ephemera we collect occasionally becomes sentimental treasures to be kept. A short lived feeling transends into nostalgic significance. Mr. Berger's Box of Bizzare Belongings is a small container of Mr. Berger's past, revealed through objects and photographs. The little things of our past are often bizzare yet beautiful.

"Objects that are cherished in this way really are born of an intimate light, and they attain a higher degree of reality than indifferent ojects." -Bachelard's The Poetics of Space
