THREE SCENES · ONE RECURRING FUNCTION

What remains when your title changes?

Choose the object you would be in three different places. Then examine what it does.

Begin the first round

01 PROJECT YOURSELF

Choose an object within a location you can easily identify yourself with.

02 OBSERVE THE OBJECT

Describe behaviour before interpreting meaning.

03 CONNECT FRAMES

Look for recurring patterns across different contexts.

04 EXPLORE APPLICATION HYPOTHESIS

Look for territory where your function may bring value.

THE METANARRATIVE PRACTICE

Build your evidence

Three rounds create enough distance to notice a pattern without turning it into a personality box.

Imagine yourself in a. What object are you?

IN THE KITCHEN

Choose the object that feels true before you can explain why.

OBJECT

No object chosen

Intuition first. Interpretation comes next.

READ THE OBJECT, NOT YOURSELF

What is the object doing here?

Stay inside the scene. Question the chosen object. Concrete observations reveal more than flattering adjectives.

Not the picture itself, but the way you perceive the object in general.What are its characteristics?02FunctionWhat does this object actually do here? What is it used for?

Describe a concrete personal need.04PositionWhere is it placed: at the centre, the edge, between layers or on the move?05ValueWhat does it change? What becomes possible because this object is present?06RelationshipsWhat does it act on, connect, receive from or depend on? How does it interact with the environment?07ConditionsWhat helps it work at its best? When is it less relevant?08VulnerabilityWhat makes it fail, become misused or lose meaning?What can destroy, break or harm it?09AbsenceWhat would happen if this object did not exist?
