Curating the lost is a curious effort to gather and exhibit a trail of lost or abandoned pieces of art. For the past five years, almost every week, I stumbled upon a photo, video, drawing, audio, sculpture, or painting that was abandoned by art students. Most of these objects were left alone in the art school for a long time. I tried to gather them all and exhibit them in this short experimental film.
A close look at these items poses questions such as who did this belong to? What was the setting? What were they trying to capture? and of course, it raises the question of morality. Is it ethically right to exhibit the work that belongs to someone else? Does the fact that they throw out and abandoned a piece permit us to view it? 
The film also tries to interact with the audience, encouraging them to find a pattern or perhaps a narrative within the works. Although the film is a collage of different unknown artists and creators, it is individual and self-conscious. 
More than anything, Curating the Lost represents a side of life that many of us would not wish to confront: a side that belongs to the abandoned and supposedly disappeared items, the ones that we throw out and suppose they magically vanish forever. 
The work is set to inspire ambivalent and perhaps contradictory responses.
