81 THE PROPERTY OF A COLLECTOR LOTS 53–74 “Collapsing the categories and conventions that sort our experience, he strives to invent forms that bring together [his] thoughts in relation to economics (statistics, values and economies of scale), geography (resources, place and ownership) and emotion (self, psychology and chemistry). Key to his practice is an attempt to give shape to the convergence of multiple kinds of data, knowledge and experience, asserting the interrelatedness of all things. His work explores social hierarchies and channels of consumption as they relate to aspects of human desire, value, beauty and material relationships”. 2 1. Alex Dodd (2009) Marco Cianfanelli: Absent Fields , Johannesburg: Goodman Gallery. 2.  Ibid .
