On the surface, these may not sound like worthy artistic subjects, but many photographers have achieved success making images of these objects in the confines of their own home. This episode is about artists who have created great work in limited environments. Whether you're still in isolation, or have become accustomed to the solitude of being at home or working alone, the images discussed here hopefully serve as a reminder our vision isn't limited by location.

This week on Open Stacks, the many relationships of art to time, as elucidated in photography, theater, and the lives of artists. Pamela Bannos discusses her book Vivian Maier: A Photographer’s Life and Afterlife, which details the life and work of the posthumously celebrated photographer; and Laura Letinsky and John Muse talk about their respective books Time’s Assignation and Microdramas.
For the exhibition, A Matter of Memory: Photography as Object in the Digital Age, we asked artists to answer a question: Is your personal connection to digital images the same as it is to photographic prints? These were shared through our audio tour as part of the exhibition. Lisa Hostetler, the curator of the exhibition and curator in charge of the Department of Photography introduces the audio.
