i used to be a bookseller
people still remember me as such
my problem, though..
is that my unconsciousness also remembers me as a bookseller
i cannot stop dreaming about having my own bookshop
so i decided to embark upon this "burning all my bookshelves" project
every single artifact in this collection begins with a piece of wood
from an old, used bookshelf
first i cut the shelves into small squares, approximately 20 x 20 cm
then i asked myself how old i was at the time
and the result was 49 pieces
thus, this project is called 49 steps
in the end, i hope to reach
a new agreement with reality
and finally free myself from my bookseller's past
we shall see how it works
