The Object Lesson is an installation and immersive theater performance created by Geoffrey Sobelle, which was presented at New York Theatre Workshop in Spring 2017. The show is set in a storage facility of gargantuan proportions where audiences are free to roam and sift through the clutter, creating a space of reflection and wonder as Sobelle unpacks his relationship to everyday objects. Expanding upon the themes of memory, personal archiving and objectification raised by the theatrical performance, Subject: Object is a virtual reality experience that immerses the viewer in the perspective of various objects both pedestrian and humorous: a faulty typewriter, a rotary phone, a wine-glass, a short-circuiting lightbulb, a box of detritus.
