The fall : extracts from the museum of falling

Contains 32 images that relate to the words “fall” or “falling.” Includes found photographs, small statuettes, paintings; book, record, CD, DVD, reel-to-reel tape, and cassette covers; etc. The front and back covers reproduce the covers of a comic titled “Falling in love romances” (Sydney: Murray, circa 1980). Patrick Pound collects things that he considers hold a single idea, and compiles them into so-called museums: the museum of falling, the museum of holes, the white museum, the museum of the middle, the space museum, and the museum of air. Collectively, these things are found to hold ideas in numerous different ways. Pound says: “To collect is to gather your thoughts through things”.
