«Traveler’s Notes» is a handwritten journal of a person who navigated a desert using signs until reaching a market of memories, recording every step of the journey. A map, film stills, receipts, and borrowed memories lie between its pages, and all of it—just like the journal itself—can pass to a new owner.
«The Carpet» is a seasonal bazaar of memories nestled among the ruins of desert dead cities, concealed within a circular stone foundation that alternately buries and exposes itself to the sand. Memories here exist like artifacts: they are traded at an exchange, stored in an archive, displayed on rugs, and viewed in specialized booths. Each zone—water, rest, sustenance, archive, booths—possesses a distinct light and material, and together they form a quiet, secluded space rarely visited by outsiders.
«Traveler’s Notes» unites three concepts: a path marked by desert signs, memory as an object, and a personal document where film negatives, letters, and a map are affixed to the manuscript. The notebook never remains on the market; the traveler takes it with them and sells it on the black market from hand to hand as a secret guide to a place that is almost impossible to find. It was made to show a space through the eyes of someone who has been there, and to pass on the most valuable thing: how to get there.
