The Soul of Old Things

Guo Ting

58K0

In "The Soul of Old Objects", young scholar Guo Ting embarks on a journey of searching for old objects across time and space. She encounters antique porcelain and vinyl records in a charity shop on the streets of Oxford, wanders around coats and accessories in Edinburgh vintage shops, wanders through a Welsh town famous for second-hand books, and visits the Strahov Library in Prague, which has experienced several wars. Visit Hong Kong's independent bookstores to feel the spirit of the city, and relive Old Uncle Koehler's Butterfly Dream at Sullivan's Café in Shanghai... This cherishing of "things" is not an attachment to material possessions per se, but rather gratitude to the maker, the cherishment of "possession", and the broader existence and time generated through the relationship between people and old things.
