Spazzolino





Zu Bild 2: Spazzolino. In combinazione con una pasta medicamentosa disponibile in tubetto, produce nella bocca dell'utilizzatore una schiuma che quando parla non si capisce che cosa dice.

Dies ist ein Teil einer Installation von Matteo Terzaghi und Marco Zürcher in der Schweizerischen Nationalbibliothek, wo ich mir heute eine Ausstellung zum "Historischen Lexikon Schweiz" angeschaut habe. Dieses Lexikon soll bis 2014 vollständig sein, 13 Bände mit über 36 000 Artikeln zur Schweiz beinhalten!!

that kind of traveling bag in the first photo would be very useful..
and for your question about the dogs, 2 were borrowed from the neighbors and 1 was my friends;)

Schanett hat gesagt…

outi: ... for smuggle goods?!

dogs to borrow! I think that's good. you don't have to get up every day at 6 o'clock for Gassi gehen!!

masinein????

outi hat gesagt…

oh, i thought for traveling:) i could just sit in and my man could carry me around;)

Schanett hat gesagt…

ritva! which language do you speak?!
"masinein"?!
how should communicatin work with such strange words?!



anyway. I try to translate the short text in proper english: these pictures are from two Swiss artists. there was an exhibition about the historic Swiss lexicon and in the entrance they putted some old pictures with funny explanations. about the toothbrushes they wrote: In combination with medicamental paste out of tubes they produce froth that makes you don't understand anymore what you are telling.

about the bag: concrete form of the desire of leaving, changing air and having a new life somewhere else that is less cramped than the one you leave.


ehm. these the explianation to the toothbrush and the bags. more or less.

Schanett hat gesagt…

outi: that's a perfect idea! if the bag has kind of window or a hole for looking around!

Schanett: Yes! Imaginary band yes!
Is anyone playing Bass?
I could play Bass?
(Tomory, my fiance, wants me to play Bass in real life. I learned a few parts to some Pixies and VU songs...and then promptly forgot them)
