I will create a 'slide show' by The Blind Man (Der Blinde) who
obsessively travels to document images without acknowledging.
Images without notions. Everything is in rectangular shape.
They signify 'memory never consumed' which is like 'empty memory',
however, it is not the same if you'd say 'no memory'.
His full of 'the memory' will actually be consumed by 'others'
(invitees to his 'slide show').
He has whole other memory (which he never consciously collect) which
will never sync with his 'empty memory' (which he is obsessed to
collect.)
You are invited to consume 'the memory'. Welcome to the 'slide show'!
