Visualisation of Heidegger’s Dasein - Elliot - by Tosca Boot
What does it mean to exist? Heidegger writes about Dasein. Everything is related to and in its being fundamentally attached to its own ‘world’, as he calls it. Only in relation with the world something is in, it can be what it is. The hammer is no hammer without nails, Heidegger is no Heidegger without ‘Heidegger-world’. Out of this idea, I wanted to make a photo series about Dasein and decided to focus on humans in relation to their ‘world,’ visible on and around their desks.
