on which one can go
and pick them up.

:34:06
I think the maps show
where to dump things rather.

:34:11
Yes, right, well,
:34:13
I read the map my own way because
:34:17
that's where I find my raw material.
:34:21
I am, among other things,
a painter and a retriever.

:34:26
I prefer night time,
:34:29
and because I go by bike,
I can only carry small things home.

:34:36
It'll be easier if I show you.
:34:40
I make images
from salvaged material,

:34:44
frames from wood,
:34:46
I use food packages, slates,
:34:50
and then I also recycle
:34:53
my own packets of cigarette paper,
:34:58
and what's good about these objects
:35:01
is that they have a past,
they've already had a life,

:35:05
and they're still very much alive.
:35:07
All you have to do
is give them a second chance.

:35:16
All you need to do is
wander around, locate sites,

:35:20
and then simply help yourself,
like in a real department store.

:35:27
On site, you find heaps
of heavy objects,

:35:30
it is best to get there quickly,
:35:33
because the competition is fierce.
:35:36
Objects go quickly.
:35:49
They're like presents left
on the street, it's like Christmas.

:35:56
When I was a kid, my grandfather
used to salvage things as well.
