Post 1: Some objects are quiet
I don't know if it's that objects are quiet, but I think I'd associate quietness and objects. Though, there are also those objects (many of them) that correspond to words or names--i.e., magnet, tortilla chip, platter; these objects are surely a little less quiet than objects that have no corresponding word (i.e., see above image). Magnet, tortilla chip, and platter have a switch between a mute form of being and a verbal form of being, whereas the object in this photo has no switch--just one default, silent setting. It's these single-setting objects whose unresolvable quietness interests me. (So, now, what about this fact of quietness? What does something do or not do because of this?) Can, and how can, silence be unraveled as a territory much larger than the territory of a single word?
