Mexico, 2003

Unicorno, the San Miguel shop where I bought the parrot costume, also had a collection of trunks and suitcases for sale. I didn't ask the owner about the significance of these carrying cases' contents, so I don't know if they were a creation of a contemporary artist or something else entirely.

Why is there a 4-foot-tall Jesus in this old traveling trunk? What are all these heads and arms doing in there? And what about the shoe forms? I have no answers, only questions.

On a lighter note, there were also smaller suitcases. The one on the right here was stuffed with toys, and another had a collection of vintage magic tricks paraphenalia.
