Transitional Objects

Transitional Objects is a work in progress that can be categorized as an “inventory”. With this work, I want to make a series of portraits of adults that have kept a very intimate relationship with their transitional object. Donald Winnicott introduced the concept of transitional objects and transitional experience in reference to a particular developmental sequence. With “transition”, he means an intermediate developmental phase between the psychic and external reality. In this “transitional space” we can find the “transitional object.” Winnicott related this concept to a more general one, “transitional phenomena“, which he considered to be the basis of science, religion and culture. Transitional objects and phenomena, he said, are neither subjective nor objective but partake of both. In Mental Space, Robert Young has provided an insight into these concepts and has generalized their role into psychic phenomena in adult life.
