Allerorts (In every place) is a text that is a collage of personal auditory artifacts. These findings are words, conversations and snippets of sentences that I unintentionally caught on the street or on the bus. From the overlapping and superimposition of voices, new and unexpected content is formulated. Separated only by commas, the individual text fragments are removed from their original context and reassembled as a lyrical composition. The book has neither page numbers nor chapters. This turns the text into a compact block without accents, in which it is difficult to find your way back to individual passages. Just as overwhelming and opaque as the babble of voices on the street itself.
