Newspapers:Not to worry, as you can see life exists.
We just live in our lives, without questioning!

Let them speak of what is , of what we are?
We sleep, walk, eat. But HOW? WHERE? WHEN? WHY?
Describe your street and another. Compare….
What is the use of things in your bag, in your pocket?
Question your tea spoon!
Why we cannot find cigarette in grocery stores? Why not?
What is under your wallpaper?
It matters little to me that these questions should be fragmentary at most of a project.
It matters a lot to me that they should seem trivial and futile.
