Oh the tragedy of moving house. Your life become reduced to a stack of cardboard boxes with labels like Nic Nacs and Critical theory books.

Which leads us to the question "Can we really be labelled that easily??"

Okay I know that sounds a little too rich, but seriously, these cardboard boxes are a potent symbol of how as we move through life (or homes, these are interchangable) we are slotted into neat little parcels for popular consumption, each part with a little label on it so as to identify it properly for storage!!!! Or in Foucaldian terms, surveillance!!!!!

Think about it, it's really very true!!

And I'm not one of those insane paranoid people, i'm just an ordinary box, just like you...
