What This Place Needs... by Adam, Tøm

October 6th, 2007 11:38 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Install in a public place (as permanently as possible) something that you think that place needs.

Now following Spars advice, we decided to add coathooks to our combs. Everyone needs combs, especially the residents of Hemsby.

To link this to the trajectory of desire, in a roundabout way, You take your coat when traveling, but when you get there and sit down for a nice cup of tea, you don't want it in your way. Enter coathooks. As for combs, if traveling on an open top bus, speedboat or bicycle, your hair will be ruined. Enter combs.

When traveling through the praxis photos, you'll notice a picture of a cake, I (Tom) took that after whilst waiting to be served at a cafe, I stared longingly at the cake display. The man behind the counter saw me and because I had Adams camera around my neck he thought I was looking at them and thinking what would make a good photo. He started speaking about the colours and how it was his favourite part of the cafe, and I felt obliged to take a photo. So thats why it's there.

"Handy, for zoophiles allergic to glue". I've met many such poor souls, and the entire world of zoophiles thanks you.

And I especially like the comb on the person's windshield. I wonder if they took it?
