Designer Label Poetry

Derek Melander “Nomad”, 2007 (video)
In the grand tradition of Nick Beef’s DieKu” series or Claude Closky’s Mon Catalogue, Derek Melander creates a poem out of the labels on the clothing in his closet.
The resultant poem is:
Dreams Divided The Natural Uniti
One Free Voice Above The Crowd
R Nomad Identity InStride
Spellbound Acrobat S Bridge The Gap
A Tightrope Outline Barely There
I’m Absolutely Pale
Solitude S Rare Essence
U Breakaway Speechless 2xist
