Last week in the Rotterdam library there was an exhibition of school projects. Some were quite predictable but a few were very original. One project called "traces" was about objects that children had found in the city. I'm very interested in urban objects, so I was immediately captivated:

One of the objects was really weird. It was made from decayed wood and reminded me of one of those African fetishes you see in etnographic museums:

The note that goes with the object says:
I wonder what it really was?
Another original - though not Fortean - project was making prints from squashed objects that were found on roads:

The note that goes with the object says:
- Where? Behind a tree near a field.

- By whom? Harun Kargarslan (?)
- How did that thing get there?
