Materials & attributes: normal clothes, found pizzaboxes, leftbehind letters,

Videowork: raw streetfootage of finding and selecting process

 

Looking for stuff to draw and paint on I stummbled upon a left behind bag with personal documents and medical personal dossiers. I filmed the opening process and tried to find out in what way my action was legal or not.

In what way is this Res Nullius ( a matter of no one) and could it be mine now?

Further on I decided to expose the material together with other found objects. The original owner’s name was not exposed.

 

 

The video and audio consists of TTS spokenparts of the content of the found documents.
