The slips were found in and around three Sheffield jobcentres, between August 2009 and March 2010.

They have been collected and documented in their original state."

"A Moment Collected: Photographs at the Harvard Art Museum is a collection of images documenting the people and spaces of the museum in the years leading up to its closing for a major renovation. Both portraits and still life images, these photographs are about the strong sense of connection among the people and how deeply the spirit of the museum runs through its inhabitants. These photographs are about passion, community, and love, but they also speak to the passing of time, the idea of change, and the impermanent and fluid nature of each person’s involvement in a much larger existence."

Gottes bunter Garten
Peter Franck
48 pages, 13 x 18 cm
Edition of 105 numbered copies, signed by the artist, including different ribbons made of tulle lace
14 Euro + shipping

"Gottes bunter Garten is a fine, absurd-erotic coffee-table book-diary; the viewer rushes though a garden of absurdities, plated with subtle humour, he glances at the dark world of paid pain, rushes from room to room. The forbidden glance in the hotel room of a time where the decoration did not carry the attribute 'absurd' an voyeurism was not legitimised by media. These stories are told by the reality. Just turn around and you’ll be startled."
