I'm immediately reminded of the background Ze Frank has used in his web series, "A Show"[1]. In the videos, Ze regularly places a single white bookshelf with a mishmash of objects on it, mostly books. He either uses the bookshelf often enough to arrange the objects in unique ways regularly, or re-arranges it for every individual episode of A Show he records. When I see videos like those Ze creates, I know they're staged but can't help but feel like my life, too, should be filled with knickknacks, books, clutters of inspiration. There's some sense of: "If my environment looks like that environment, I'll be able to act like that person does." I imagine much of pop culture influences how we imagine our rooms and homes should look. 1 http://ashow.zefrank.com/ http://ashow.zefrank.com/
