A sequence of images of chairs put out with the garbage. There seems to be no end to them; kitchen chairs, easy chairs, chairs with one leg missing, two plastic bucket seats stacked on top of each other. The photos of the garbage chairs are followed by photos of small benches. Again, dozens of images follow, all cut from magazines and newspapers. In the Teylers Museum (Haarlem) the artist Erik Fens walks through the rooms with wooden display cases with rocks, shells and fossils. A few steps lead to the gallery. He leafs through his album with photographs of people with halos: George Bush with a lamp behind his head, Dutch prime minister Balkenende with behind him stars on a wall. It is almost unbelievable that so many of these photographs have appeared in papers and magazines, all archetypical images. Off-screen we hear him say: ''To collect is to write history. Everything you don't throw away, becomes part of the collection. So you can think of the world as one enormous collection.''
