The world of Russian public notices is fascinating, bizarre and saturated in tragic-comedy: ‘An old woman. Left home and has not returned. Small, hunchbacked.Wears: a blue dress, red wool cardigan, a white handkerchief with red flowers on her head, grey slippers on her feet. Does not have memory.’ The authors and readers of these usually handwritten notices are members of Russia's underclass, made visible by these acts of public address which so often go unread. In this secret economy of exchange and communication, you can swap a voucher for an airplane or help to find a missing earring lost ‘during the fireworks on the Day of Cosmonauts.’ All over Russia, all sorts of surfaces, stationary or mobile, have been papered over with such notices.
