The Ordinary is the Most Unexpected Endeavor

When I look out of the window, I see a rather ordinary school. The sun weaves a pattern of shadows on the red brick wall. People tend to discover patterns, categorize, classify, and assign them. The shadow is a pattern, takes shape. The red bricks are categorized, stacked on top of each other, and become a wall, creating space and protecting the learners inside.

If we go out onto the street, there are further allocations. This is the footpath, here the hedge, there the car park, and behind it the road. We walk to the left, past the café and trees. Trees and nature are also named and added to our large collection.

Everything is collected in words, images, and movements. We buy in shops, play in the playground, eat in the restaurant, get bureaucratic in the office, find art in the museum, poetry in the book, and wishes in the heart. Things and actions seem to have their settings.

With REMÆR, we mix, blend, and shake up the settings of literature, art, and everyday life. You put on one of our statement T-shirts, designed in collaboration with selected artists and poets, and you are already transforming the ordinary into an unexpectedly beautiful endeavor.
