take me out...

Yesterday I found at the roadside a strange looking frame, which someone threw  in the garbage. I stopped and picked up the frame. 
But it's not only the frame, but also a hand colored photo of a young lady. 

Unfortunately, some insects, which like to eat wood, just destroyed the frame. Therefore I just kept the photo and the acrylic, which is convex. I hung the frame at a tree...yes, a little bit of land art ;)

 I still don't know what to do with the photo, but it has got some potential...

A circular wooden frame.

In the last days I made a new wooden frame out of a broken cooking pot coaster, which I bought many years ago in Ubud, Bali. It was a wonderful cooking pot coaster with carvings in the middle and at the outside with rattan, like this one here.

Unfortunately it broke in the middle and the carvings, too. Therefore I removed the rattan, which can be used to make a dreamcatcher, and the rest of the carvings. After this I glued both wooden parts together and then sanded down the wood and brushed it was waste oil.

I put a palimpsest, which combines with the circular frame, into it:

Once more some of my works are in the PI² magazine!!!

texto sobre a serie "the bureaucracy palimpsests" ("os palimpsestos da burocracia"):

O ser humano está preso no sistema. Sem saída ele está interligado na rede da burocracia. Sem proteção, completamente nu, ele não pode se defender.
Ele perde qualquer sentimento e pensamento e talvez até mesmo a esperança.
Ele precisa acordar, se libertar e fugir... mas ele conseguirá???
