Which Jacket is Yours?
哪一件是你的夾克?
Artist Mike Ballard, 38, has just opened an exhibition: Whose coat is that jacket you ’re wearing? —consisting of 200-odd coats that Ballard has stolen in a decade-long time in London, UK.
近期在英國倫敦開辦了一場奇怪的展覽,藝術(shù)家麥克·巴拉德展出了十多年自己偷來的200多件衣服。展覽名是“哪件是你曾經(jīng)穿過的夾克?”
And Ballard now hopes to return as many to the original owners as possible, providing he has enough details of the thefts to convince them.
巴拉德現(xiàn)在希望盡可能將這些偷來的衣服物回原主,并提供自己偷竊的足夠細(xì)節(jié)以便說服人們。
After the first 30 coats or so, he began documenting the date and places of the crimes as well as pocket contents which ranged from tissues to knives.
巴拉德是在偷了30件外套后開始記載偷每件外套的時(shí)間和地點(diǎn),及自己在偷來的衣服口袋里發(fā)現(xiàn)的物件,有面紙,也有小刀
He was shocked into stopping last year when he took what he fears was a groom’ s coat complete with diamond ring.“I’m not proud about what I’ ve done and I realize that I need to make amends and return the coats to their rightful owners,” he said.
他之所以停止了盜竊行為,是因?yàn)楫?dāng)他在一件可能是新郎的外套中發(fā)現(xiàn)一枚鉆石戒指,心靈受到極大的震撼。他說: “對自己的所為,我感到萬分羞愧。我意識到必須改邪歸正,把這些年來(偷來的)外套歸還給失主。 ”
The crime spree began when his smart new purchased jacket was stolen from the Griffin pub in Shoreditch in 1999. Then maybe a month after it had gone, he was really drunk in a pub and it was just a split-second thing. He thought maybe he’ll steal his own coat back.
1999 年,巴拉德新買的外套在西爾狄區(qū)的格里芬酒吧被偷走后,他便開始了自己的盜竊行為。大約一個月后,他在酒吧喝醉了,然后順手偷走了一件外套,盜竊發(fā)生在他的一念之間。他總是抱有“或許可以把自己的外套偷回來”的希望,持續(xù)順手牽羊。
Ballard, who graduated in fine arts from Central Saint Martins three years ago, admits that putting on the show at Walker’ s Tailor, Robert Street, is risky. “I hope I don’ t get into too much trouble,” he said. Police were unable to comment.
三年前巴拉德畢業(yè)于中央圣馬丁(藝術(shù)與設(shè)計(jì)學(xué)院),主修美術(shù)專業(yè)。他知道自己在羅伯特大街上舉辦的這場展覽是有風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的。他說: “我希望自己不會因此惹上麻煩。 ”警察目前為止對他的行為還沒有什么異議。
