Desire has been defined in many ways. For Plato it is lack, for Spinoza vital force, for Freud unconscious energy, for Benjamin distance, for Baudrillard a system of signs, and for Bataille excess. No single view contains it, each opens a different path.
The twelve pieces selected for Things, Desires… operate within this interval between object and desire. They do not confirm a single theory, they activate several. They may function as sign, aura, excess, or perceptual device. This selection does not seek to define desire, but to set it in motion.

El desig ha estat definit de moltes maneres: per a Plató és carència, per a Spinoza és potència vital, per a Freud és energia inconscient, per a Benjamin és distància, per a Baudrillard és signe, per a Bataille és excés. Cap d’aquestes visions l’esgota, totes obren camins.
Les dotze peces seleccionades per a Things, Desires… operen en aquest espai intermedi entre la cosa i el desig. No confirmen una única teoria, les activen totes. Poden ser signe, aura, excés, o dispositiu perceptiu. Aquesta selecció no pretén definir el desig, sinó posar-lo en moviment.
