The second part of this three part project consisted of my visiting ‘Two Dollar Shops’, and amassing a collection of items that cost Au $2 or less. Through choosing to collect only those items that were similar to objects that I collect for The Portable Hawkers Museum in Johannesburg [most of which are mass produced in factories in Asia], I explored not only issues of cultural difference, but also cultural similitude. Each of the items was photographically catalogued, and the catalogue images [and not the objects] were presented at the Exhibition. The objects were arranged into a portable display unit, and used in a series of public performances in Part Three of the project.
