An old electric fan. My parents bought it the year they got married. A Geli brand, three white blades, yellowed plastic casing. It is four years older than I am.
I did not repair it. I only wiped off the dust.
In front of the fan, a thin plastic bag hangs from a thread. The bag is printed with a photograph — a window from the house I grew up in. The house, along with the entire alley, was demolished in 2016. The photograph came from an old album. The resolution is bad.
The fan turns on. The bag moves.
This window has never drifted before.
This is not a work about memory. It is an electric fan blowing a plastic bag. If, at some point while watching, something begins to feel wrong — that is your problem, not the work's.
