Emma says: Whilst
looking through the MoDiP collection I came to realise anyone, no matter what
their financial circumstances, could own something that is worthy of being
displayed in the museum. I invited participants to take part in an exchange
event in which they would swap a plastic object of their own for a ‘MoDiP coin’
that I have created especially for the event. I now have my own collection of
the ‘people’s plastics’ which I will be displaying in the museum, changing the
display according to various classifications every few days. By using the
participants’ objects and giving them a ‘genuine artefact’ in return I am
hoping to contrast the hierarchies of the museum context.
