from Perfromance Workbook

from Performance Workbook

Select a day when you are at home
All day ask of everyone who enters
to empty the contents of all their pockets, bags etc

catalogue these--
they will be retrieved by the visitors upon leaving

At the end of the day/late evening
make from the catalogings flyers of the most desirous objects
and post them throughout nearby neighborhoods
as "missing objects"
with an undisclosed reward offered for their return
and your address/phone to contact

Document by answering machine or any other means
any replies

If your visitors respond questioningly
perhaps recognizing the objects
demand their return
