For Eerie... An IUFT Laundry Installation
1442 Haultain Street, Victoria BC
Sept 22-28, Opening Friday the 22nd
On July 19th, 2006 the IUFT cremated one of our fearless comrades. Eerie Humming was a pioneer and martyr. Eerie struggled to find his place in our world, he attempted to carve himself a niche, but despite his endless efforts, he failed. Eerie was found dead from excessive disappointment. His greatest disappointment was society’s inability to accept him as an equal. Eerie faced discrimination at every turn. He tried to assimilate into our cultural consumption machine, but was spat out.
Eerie just wanted to enjoy the mundane ‘chores’ that we all take for granted. The simple task of washing his clothes brought such joy to Eerie. However, the Laundry facilities were not welcoming to our cardboard friends and refused to serve them.
Eerie’s only wish was to fit in, to wash his clothes in peace. The IUFT failed to save Eerie, but our hope is to avoid further fatalities in the cardboard community. We constructed a place for our buddies to feel accepted, even if is only until their laundry is finished.
