Installation for the Anuall Walkaround 2010

After collecting several printed matter
We dug up all old printed matter from college, which were sitting in backrooms and had been considered impossible to sell anymore! What value could we attribute to them now since were not in circulation anymore, not used, virtually dead – how could we re-assess their value or change it?

1. We brought these items back to the attention of the visitors by positioning them visually.
2. Everyone in the group wrote reviews of them, which tried to simply describe them and outline their graphic construction and appeal. They were then read by two professional radio presenters and Florian and recorded, and these audio reviews were played in the room.
3. During this audio-loop visitors were invited to take copies of the items with them to a new home.
4. After a reading of an item’s review was played, (but if not all copies had been taken yet) one or two copies were put through a shredder each time, transforming them merely into the next stage of the recycling process.
