This is an agency that collects and preserves the emotional stories embedded in everyday objects. We operate somewhere between a detective agency, a museum, and a psychotherapist’s office.
Concept
The first series addresses the theme of investigating missing objects, using the visual language of police tape as a metaphor for searching, documenting traces, and the state of «case open.»
The tapes intersect the space of the posters, marking loss while simultaneously indicating the process of collective investigation. The missing objects are presented not as evidence of a crime, but as carriers of memory—their disappearance initiates a dialogue about the past, attention, and the shared recovery of what is lost through observation and participation.
Concept
The Lost and Found Agency poster series uses the image of a boarding pass as a metaphor for travel—not through space, but through time. This is a ticket to the past, a one-way journey where the destination is lost memories and forgotten objects. Each poster is a personal pass into the archive of collective memory.
Concept
This series is a visual investigation into how things disappear without being lost. Objects don’t vanish suddenly—they dissolve into the everyday, losing meaning while remaining physically present. Disappearance here is not an event, but a process. Slow, subtle, almost silent.«Some things disappear before they are gone.»
