So, our latest individual project was to experiment withtext...and noticing the horrendous amounts of junkmail coming through 48 watlington streets front door I had an immediate starting point, and it was pretty cheap.
Combine this with the intriguing letters addressed to the houses previous residents I was reaching dodgy grounds....
I made a rug out of purely junkmail piling th
rough the door, and installed it in the hall, as shown.
The best bit for me was that all my housemates then proceded to hop round it! Around leaflets that they'd been all too happy to trample on just hours before.
Funnier still, by chance an E-ON power rep later knocked on the door and I had to leave him in the hall for a few minutes whilst I found a friend. Surprisingly he didn't comment on o
ur odd choice of furnishings. Perhaps he came to the conclusion that students really are getting poorer!
I'd like to leave the rug for an extended period of time and perhaps video peoples reactions, and use the aftermath as a piece in itself.
Interesting how the rug is much more convincing in your hallway, prehaps the photo of it is the work?
