what the shit?
You live in a place. It’s your place, but it’s not only your place. You have to share—or maybe you get to share—and when you share you start to notice all the little samnesses and differences that go with being a person.
Which is a fancy way of saying that people leave really weird crap in our apartment building’s laundry room, but that’s okay. More than okay, in fact: it’s awesome.
And so I decided to start taking pictures of the stuff, documenting what shows up (and eventually disappears) on what is ostensibly the clothes-folding table. Who deposits these strange accounts? Who collects them? These are questions I cannot answer definitively (without a webcam, at least), but there is pleasure in guessing and joking and listening to what other people think.
Hence, the laundryroom swapmeet.
