Hello pierre, i hope u are fine, i am sorry i have not been contacting u recently
because i've been settled up myself to society here at the camp which i already been here a week, been picking berries from early morning till dawn everyday. It's really hard job but amazingly fun. I am in a group of ten people in a small bus, starts 4am till 7pm and back to sell picked berries everyday. Anyway i feel really good and been working out some ideas which
I can later tell u, but there is no internet here at the camp, i could have chance
to ask at the camp owner's office once a week or so. But if u do send me email
please also notice me by sms. Please kindly contact me via mobile phone. And i will
send u numbers of sms for everyday kilo of berries i pick. I am sorry again to leave u this early message. Hug. Pratchaya

Bonjour! I considering the kilos tranform to a piece which coresponding to what my
everyday practice (as)with the workers toward the idea of what it so-called
'allemanrätten' about common right of human in sweden that u allow to walk through
others property, land,forest pick mushrooms berries etc..Also camping as long as u
don' harm people and nature. I want to invite u to take part of dialogue. I'd like
to ask u to organize a collection of useless Useless objects, waste,recycle or leftover items, cardboards packages from supermarket if u wish, etc in repectively corresponding to great amount of kilos i've picked at the end. You are freely to (re)arrange them during the period of the exhibition. Anathor piece i am chasing is to steal a shooting hidden tower in a deep forest, as it will be taken out pieces and u are free to organize them as well. Please kindly let me know how u feel.
