In this light a man is a result, A demonstration, and a woman, Without rose and without violet, The shadows that are absent from Euclid, Is not a woman for a man.

Can our objects tell the story of our lives? The film challenges us to imagine how future generations would make sense of our physical footprint from the objects we touch. For this, Zuccotti embarked on a quest to create a time capsule of our lives by photographing in a single-shot all the objects that people come in contact with over a 24 hour period. From a cowboy in Arizona to a nun in Madrid, from a one month old baby in London to a 71 years old puppeteer in Shanghai, she travelled the world exploring our interaction with everyday objects, treating them as clues that reveal insights into how we live our daily lives. As an industrial designer, ethnographer, trend forecaster and artist, Zuccotti’s story blends the fields of design, society, technology, anthropology and art. Camera in hand, her film is a visual feast of objects, people and culture unveiling her learnings and the experiences of those who participated.

What's the first thing we touch when we wake up?How do our favourite things reveal our hopes and fears?Can objects tell the story of our lives?Imagine how your day would look if you recorded everything that you touched.From smartphone to soap, from spice to spoon... what if they were all brought together in one place? Would they tell a bigger story?Driven by this idea, I travelled around the world to find people from an incredible array of ages, cultures, professions and backgrounds. I asked them to document every object they touched in 24 hours. Then she gathered those objects together and photographed them in a single shot.From a toddler in Tokyo to a cowboy in Arizona, from a cleaner in London to a cloister nun in Madrid, Every Thing We Touch is their story told through the objects they own, consume, need, choose, treasure and can't let go.Each image is mystery, a story, a work of art. Each is a moment in time: a life and a world reflected back at us."A fascinating glimpse into our daily lives" (Wired)Beautiful and enlightening. Shows how simply and unexpectedly a series of objects can tell extraordinary stories about our existence. Stunning - a collection to get lost in." (Wallpapper*)"Zuccotti formats the photos so that the objects are arranged in chronological order and a complete picture can be formed of an individual’s daily life [..] where assumptions can be made about who that person is — his or her gender, nationality, or line of work."
