journals PUBLIC
Intermittently
I make then leave blank journals in public spaces for people to stumble
across and take if they so please. I started leaving journals on
bicycles while living in New York, although this wasn't the first
time I had left things in public space. Previously I have left texts
written on cards and vegetables for an unsuspecting passer-by. I like
the ambiguity of such gestures and consider them to be something
of a 'public gift'. Although
I photograph the books where they are left I never stick around in an
attempt to watch anyone interact with them. I'd rather have everything
after I leave remain unknown.
