'lists
of contents, descriptions of findings, noted viewings,
recited belongings with series of private details. a collection
of long forgotten personal scraps, parts, bits and pieces'
(kept and carefully hidden since the schoolyear of 1992) :
>pinned onto strips of roled paper, tiny details of scraps are hung on lines, spun across a big empty space.
>exposed between, next, in front of rows of metall school lockers, all the same.
>typewriter listing contents of lyrically playfully estranged titles of small pinned objects.
>a
wall of metall file-like lockers, matt-black with chalk-chunks suspended
from ceiling, which becomes,during
those 2 weeks, a blackboard of confusing, spontaneously important messages,
notes, notices and comments
from students attending daily lessons in school.
