The ubiquitous cardboard box is the subject for this loop-stitched booklet and are presented as materials for constructing 7 different lamp designs alongside instructional diagrams and ‘product photographs’. Small two-colour thumbnail-size pictures are overlaid and scattered in random sequences throughout the pages. The booklet contains a short text written by the artist which offers a rather demoralising outlook on the global pandemic, the climate crisis, and choosing to be an artist.
