About this work

This looks like a clear plastic shopping bag with bold white letters spelling out *"BAJ AT MARCONI'S"* and *"UA"* in a rough, handwritten style. Inside, there’s a mannequin arm wearing two bright ties—one with blue polka dots on red, the other green polka dots on black. Scattered around are old photos, a pink card with a weird face drawing, and a few small black-and-white images. The bag itself feels like a mix of junk and art, like someone took everyday stuff and turned it into something new. The ties and photos inside look like they’re part of the piece, not just fillers. If you like this weird mix of objects, check out Enrico Baj.
