Antique, Artefact or junk?

I've been thinking about this brief a lot, and what appeals to me most about it is the opportunity to see what value people place on the objects they own. I'm a self confessed hoarder and keep everything from train tickets to jam jars, but other would disregard these items without a thought. I have also been thinking about the 3 different areas I have been asked to look at;

• The V&A- High cultural status, high class, of great value, universally recognised, clean and tidy, respected, quite, reserved, historical (the objects have a past, tell a story)
• My bedroom- Personal, messy, individually respected, of value (but only to me), objects tell a story, worn and overused, warm and inviting, crude/rude (symbolism of sexuality), I sleep in more than one place( uni and home).
• The Roadside- Disregarded, overlooked, dirty, not respected, shows a journey (flip book?), could be an important journey (emotion), routine, rubbish, lost items, street art, free expression, neglected or maintained.
