Dadaist text material mounted as Wordart on cardboard, nailed into wooden pallet frames, and hung on the wall with rough steel chains.
"Paranormal animosity in the hyperreal" is written there. Could this perhaps refer to that remaining residue of the consumer world that sticks to every pallet? When the trucker has unloaded, the goods have been delivered, and the parked transport vehicle, left on the most boring places in the world, awaits its next use, there is simplicity and silence. Not peace, joy, and pancakes.
This second cycle is reminiscent of graffiti—simple, unadorned, but ruthlessly clear, serving up everyday thought worlds. Present-day fictions as surrogates, onto which one can project their own meaning. This happens after everything desirable, once on the pallets of life, has been consumed and reached its final destination.
