Clothing, pieces of paper, electronics, and other items were placed in a field. Signs were used to declare an event “Free: The Consumable Biographies” to take place in that location at specific times.

These signs also contained instructions to take the objects, give objects of their own, or both. The space, surrounded by trees and centered by an oversized, sculptural ghost light (installed by others with no connection to Free),  became a space of commodity exchange over the course of two days.

The changes that took place in the space over the two days of the project were:

• An old hard drive was taken
• Some blank notebooks were taken
• All of the paper scraps were taken, later a single incinerated corner of one of the papers was found half a mile away near a spent bonfire.

No clothes or tools were taken from the site. Neither did anyone add anything to the site.
