That at least is the case with music, though not necessarily with radio, which is often temporally immediate. The paradoxical feature of this item of cultural technology is that it puts our immediate lived environment on hold and immerses us in an intensified experience of whatever we are listening to, isolating us from what is spatially and temporally proximate and connecting us to what is spatially and temporally distant. The ordinary object which Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow places under the lens is the personal stereo. It is this range, along with the intention of turning things inside out and making us see them in a different light, that makes the series appear as an early 21st century extension of the project initiated in Barthes’ Mythologies. Its inveterate and exhilarating focus is on the hidden lives of such ordinary things as cigarette lighters, bookshelves, bread, socks, veils, golf balls and high heels. The admirable series to which this book belongs is called Object Lessons.
