“There is … a great interest in the way collections do collect, divulge, organize, in fact mix and remix things that were separated before. Having all the objects in the same room allows to make various connections. Here is what a collection allows us to do: Collecting elements allows people to collect their own thoughts”. (Bruno Latour, Linke, 2015, p. 174).
