Fashioning the Body: Versions of the Citizen, the Self, and the Subject

As we approached a singular object that makes up part of what is called "The Soup", we noticed to our right on the blue exterior wall, under a covered area, a brown, somewhat spongy, though still firm, rectangle. Stuck upon this rectangle were various other rectangles. These flat rectangles seemed to have no order to their placement, though occasionally two of them would appear to be exactly the same. I snatched one of these flat rectangles as an artifact. I will transcribe it as follows:

After I retrieving my artifact I ascended the stairs directly in front of me. I noticed the area around me festively decorated; I took note of some colorful flat objects stuck onto the blue walls. These objects gave me a vague, though lacking feeling of welcoming. They were nice, though what they were attempting to cheer up was not. It was harsh and foreign seeming. Upon reaching a landing I found myself looking over the covering of the path leading up to the building, and the whole “Soup” itself. I looked down upon the blue walkway covering and noticed some short brown hair clumps, laying as though they had jut been clipped from an inhabitants head and clumsily been thrown out of an above window. Interesting behavior…
