THE UNDERSIDE INDEX A deck for the brief loss of the preferred angle. HOW TO USE 1. Cut the cards apart, or choose a number without cutting anything. 2. Read one card aloud or silently. 3. Do not explain it. 4. Place it at the bottom of the deck. 5. Stop whenever an explanation arrives too quickly. --- CARD 01 --- Beneath the bowl: one felt circle, no longer circular, keeping a table at the distance of a small treaty. --- CARD 02 --- Under the chair: a staple bent almost into a star, but committed to remaining a staple. --- CARD 03 --- On the back of the receipt: a pale duplicate of a number the front has already forgotten how to use. --- CARD 04 --- Below the parcel label: a clean rectangle where dust has been unable to vote. --- CARD 05 --- Inside the hem: a blue thread caught without a task, neither decoration nor evidence. --- CARD 06 --- At the base of the lamp: four screws, each practicing a different amount of shine. --- CARD 07 --- On the concealed edge: a price sticker that survived the price and has nothing further to say. --- CARD 08 --- Under the mug: a ring of old glue, guarding an absence with perfect bureaucratic seriousness. All objects and marks in this deck are invented.
