CONTINENTS
APART 距離感情

pickpockets enter the dancehall of a city street, a ballroom of subway stations, malls and foreclosed buildings. they said to make something of ourselves and here we were, getting what we needed, doing so without conflict. maybe if we were bold enough, we'd wear half the things we pocketed but nah. they just get pawned off in these exchanges until the closest we'd get to them is seeing all those watches on animated tv billboards or glass cases in downtown.
atoms like sparrows
out in the streets:
edward shum
hong kong born but moved to canada at a young age. talks in a pointed manner but animates conversation among his group. likes films and reading about mysterious occurances. has many missed calls and leaves voicemails unchecked. practices the waltz with sasaki or joan whenever they are in the apartment. his favourite song is from xavier cugat
sasaki,kay,
oroci,joan
group of pickpocketers from toronto. sasaki often reads about the global south. likes one piece swimsuits and talking. kay works at jewelry store as an associate. signs as k.k. on documents. oroci steals out of necessity. fond of aphorisms. joan likes movies and riding the train. her pickpocketing technique relies on finding the moment to approach rather than lifting the wallet amidst misdirection.
