Unclaimed Luggage is a site-specific exhibition that transforms Four Boxes into a “home in dissolution.” Through found objects, Winther examines the structures that define the space of the nuclear family – and the power dynamics that unfold between human and object, care and control, life and afterlife.

All materials are collected and processed on site, making the exhibition both an experiment and an insight into a working process in which context shapes the artwork. In a society characterized by welfare and abundance, where everything can be left behind and replaced, the discarded objects become evidence of systems of both value and consumption.

As part of the exhibition, Winther invites her collaborator Charlie Boyte – who together with Winther forms the design duo Crude – to create deconstructed sofas. Crude works exclusively with recycled materials and, through intuitive, almost surgical processes, explores how objects can be reborn in new forms.

Unclaimed Luggage continues Winther’s investigation into the structures that define value, ownership, and relationships within the modern Western home – and into the stories that lie hidden in what is left behind.
