This is a worn, yellowed piece of paper with ink writing on both sides. One side shows a messy scrawl in blue ink: *"Parapluie à passer l'imposte ou Ben."* The other side has neat handwriting addressed to *"Jean Jacques Laveque"* with a Paris street address and two faded postage stamps. The stamps and the grommet hole suggest this was once mail. The mix of messy and neat writing feels personal, like a quick note or a joke. Look up Ben Vautier next.
