“Liberation Point” is a research project investigating our connection with the material world. The project highlights themes such as consumerism, materialism, waste and destruction by examining the values assigned to objects by people.

As the visitors entered the exhibition area they were welcomed with a shelf full of random objects with a sentence long story. They were encouraged to take an object and find the “Liberation Point” in the exhibition. When the visitors arrived to the “Liberation Point” they were interviewed about the object, their experience walking with the object and why they chose that object or wether the objects may have triggered any memories. After the interview process they were asked to place the object in the “Liberator” and were directed to pull the lever. The lever allows the hidden hammer to fall onto the object ultimately destroying them.
