Box of Old Mythologies, 1998

 Item — Box: 92
Identifier: CC-30729-32174
Scope and Contents

The piece consists of a small suitcase collaged with overlaid pages from a small format encyclopedia that has been printed on wood based acid paper as evidenced by the discolorations. The inside of the suitcase is also collaged with the same pages. Eight cardboard boxes are placed within the suitcase. Their labels related to their contents. For example, a box with the dictionary definition of camouflage contains a paper butterfly cut from a dictionary page that is pinned onto a dictionary page fitted to the bottom of the box. A box labeled lent contains ashes. A box labeled trinity contains an insulated electric wire with three smaller insulated electric wires against a black paper background. According to a letter from Collins, the other copy is in a Hungarian collection. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
