An Auction House for the Extraordinary.
LOT / US is a speculative auction house for extraordinary objects of unknown origin and purpose. Through documentation, authentication, and auction, the project explores how objects that resist conventional classification can acquire new meaning and value through the process of bidding.
Three Ways of Encountering the Undefined
The identity extends into three distinct session formats, each reflecting a different state of an undefined object: officially cataloged, newly discovered, or privately connected to a collector.
Together, they form a flexible system that translates the concept of the undefined into different auction experiences.
Unknown Standards
LOT / US — Collection 001As the first collection of the Permanent Archive, Unknown Standards brings together objects that resist established definitions and standards of value.
The collection translates the auction house's central idea into a visual and editorial experience.
