Package From The Insane by Jamila

January 31st, 2007 6:02 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Acquire the mailing address of a stranger (or friend) and send them a package (anonymously) seemingly packed by the insane.

PLEASE, do not make it mean, dangerous or insulting.

Example: take a cardboard box and write obscure mathematical equations or quotes of nonsense. Draw STRANGE pictures or just a single word with great emphasis (FUR).

Pack it with useless detritus meticulously combined. (Small wooden dowels glued to packets of taco sauce powder with a foreign dignitaries face affixed over the ingredients label).

A folded and sealed packet of small clothing (a tie, underwear).

I envisioned meticulous actions as my ideal form of crazy. To create this level of intensity I used as small a container as I could and painstakingly wrote insane and hostile messages on scraps of paper made them into scrolls. I used a larger (relative) piece of paper and wrote a bit larger the rant of an employee (large enough to be legible—unlike the scrolls). To the kafka on crack statement in the bottom of the mints, I added more rants onto broken chopsticks and rolled small snow balls out of cotton. This has all been sent to a well-behaved son of a police officer in Brooklyn.
