A T-shirt from the «Instruction Manual for Reality» series becomes a carrier of an instruction that has survived the world for which it was created. An image from an educational diaphilm, once intended to explain and organize reality, is transferred onto the canvas of modern everyday life. Having emerged from its original context, it loses its direct function and acquires a new meaning—becoming a fragment of a vanished era, preserving notions of a world that no longer exists.
The print transforms the T-shirt into a dynamic archival frame. The image extends beyond the diapositive and continues to exist in a reality that no longer matches its content. Thus, merchandise becomes a way to preserve the trace of the past and carry it into the present.
