we only live when we consume :: receipts - a fading world :: 2023 - 25
2 years ago I started collecting receipts, kind of out of the blue, but also to re-start collecting things like we did once upon a time (like collecting letters, or photos, or entrance tickets from rock concerts in interesting cities). these days you get a receipt everywhere, even for a scoop of ice cream on a beach somewhere. some receipts have got a nice design, there is a whole receipt (and also ticket) culture ! (by the way, did i ever get a receipt or ticket anywhere in greece except from ferries ?). on the other side i noticed that some people aren´t into that at all. it´s just a culture, a trend. so with every receipt there is a different story behind. i kept those with the interesting ones and put them into a photo album, kind of a memory of a phase - receipts about the things i bought in my favorite organic vegetable store, the take away coffees i had at a beach bar where you would get organic fruits for free, as many as you wanted, several stamp cards ( when the card is full, you´ll get 1 meal or 1 coffee for free ), a receipt from a taylor, who does the best work with good vibes, and many more. i will glue them into my photo-album, and i will take more pictures then. because i know what everyone knows - after a few months, or a year or so, these receipts all will turn white (or blue). They vanish, they fade away by themselves.
