Off View is a catalog of artifacts not on public view; carefully selected from digital museum databases of over 500,000 logged works. A welcome unknowing; the accompanying catalog cards feature prompt words as an invitation to connect across time; to revel in what we do not know, feel more deeply about the object’s stories and artists (known or imagined to us). Between the pages, there is a set of bookmarks inspired by archaeological tools used in documenting artifacts. Off View is a self-initiated project inspired by Sydney’s personal passion for archaeology and art history.
