If they were just showcasing old boots, airsickness bags and fluffy toys then the collection would amount to nothing more than meaningless bric-a-brac. But the sometimes heart-rending tales or even just simple sentences accompanying each item bring it all to life. For example, alongside a French identity card a Slovene has written: The only thing left of a great love was citizenship. One woman, who gave an axe, recounts how she used it to chop her girlfriends furniture into tiny pieces when she left her. The ex collected the remains and the axe was promoted to a therapy instrument.
如果他们只是展览旧靴子、晕机时用来呕吐的袋子或者毛绒玩具,那么这个展览只不过展出一些不具备特殊意义的旧物品。但是每一件东西都因为其背后令人心碎的故事或者只是一些简单的话语而变得富有了生命。比如,在一个法国的身份证旁边写着:唯一留下伟大爱的是公民身份。一位女士交了一把斧头,她讲述了当她和自己的女朋友分开时,她是如何用这把斧头把她朋友的家具都砍成碎片的。
From Switzerland someone has donated an unopened packet containing a candy G-string. He turned out to be as cheap and shabby as his presents. Among the most moving of all the items, inevitably, are some related to the bloody collapse of Yugoslavia. One is a love letter written by a boy to a girl he met in a convoy of vehicles while being evacuated from Sarajevo under siege in 1992. He never got to give it to her but he never forgot her either. Another is a prosthetic foot given by a man who lost his own one during the Croatian war. He fell in love with the social worker who helped him obtain certain things he needed but comments, the prosthesis endured longer than our love. It was made of sturdier material!
