Where are the portfolios going?
November 15, 2004
How many portfolios do we have?
Plenty, thousands of them about 450 for ITS#ONE, 650 for ITS#TWO and 700 for ITS#THREE. I think one day the shelf will fall on us and we will be hurted by creativity, no, it is not possible imagine the newspapers writing: "Trieste: Portflios from Royal College, Central Saint Martins, La Cambre, Hogeschool voor de Kunsten, Institut Français de la Mode and Fashion Institute of Arnhem kill two Evers in an office accident ". Human instinct of auto conservation lead us to seek a more comfortable (and safer) place for them (and us), but where?????
Where?
In our safe? Sorry but we don't have a vault
On the couch? No? we need it for the after lunch rest
In Barbara's room? No?They have been there for too long...
So where?
Mmmm ... I've got a wonderful idea ... let's attach each of them to a balloon and let them flow through the office ... each nation will have a colour and each school will be recognized by a ribbon, blue for male and pink for female ... Or for female it is better to use red?
Stop talking bullshit we need a new place ... let's rent part of the loft upstairs to store them all together and now so let' s move them ...
Looking for volunteers:
Who will join the move? ?all of a sudden the office looks empty-
Niky hides in the bathroom, Manu grumbles behind her desk, other EVErs immediately find something 'really really important' to do. An hour later the lucky nominees are:
Miki, Niky, Pablo and Manu.
Like the seven dwarfs carrying diamonds, here we are with the haul of our creative mine.
Shit happens:
"Help me ... help meee ... Shit"
The portfolios start to fall on the floor, there are sketches, textiles, a vacuum packed bag, insect jewellery, a spider; a butterfly and a grasshopper
"Don't step on them!" ," Don't worry no ... don't cry they are fake"
You know what? They are really amazing, it's surprising how hard is to be an ITS# finalist, there are so many talented people all around the world and their way to Trieste starts from their portfolio ...
