On October 1, iiiahh returned to 24th and Bryant with a sidewalk exposition, titled “Things You Could Live Without + Cosas Que No Necesitas.” Many of the objects collected in the Saturday Swaps were re-imagined and given alternative narratives. iiiahh used simple and tactile materials, such as soft fuzzy felt, shiny slick vinyl, and braids of embroidery thread. The reshaped objects were displayed on tables for new and returning visitors to touch, move shift, and try on.
A clean diaper became an old-fashioned white wig. A plastic bracelet, two chapsticks and a lego starwars keychain became a flying rocket ship. A small wooden dog became a large floppy moth. And more.
For a complete gallery of the transformations please see Things You Could Live Without.
