finders keepers 1



The Finders Keepers off-site intervention attempts to mark individual lives through the marking of books sold in bookstores. The artifacts placed in each book allude to a private life outside of the text, whether a memory, a history, or a creative moment, with the purpose of leaving something meaningful with each finder. Each personalized bookmark is constructed with an authenticity that blurs the lines between fact and fiction, making private relics public.

Just to let you know that while I was in Collected Works today I found two of the black and white pictures # 59 and 79 it was a nice surprise. I really like the idea
of the Finders Keepers. A friend said she had read about it in the newspaper this morning. WTG.
