Today I purchased seven paperback books all written by Paulo Coelho

I had no intention of reading the novels

My intention was the create a temporary art installation

I found a suitable path on Hungerford Common

And randomly placed the seven books amongst the buttercups

I took seven photographs from seven different angles

And waited for an express train to pass

So that anybody who was interested

Would be able to see my art installation

The train came and went

I then collected the books together and placed them into a plastic bag

About half an hour later I gave the books to another charity shop in the town

The art installation will now only exist in people’s memories

At seven o’clock this evening

I will also delete the seven photographs
