Missing door handle and accidental signifiers
Marco, a friend, send me a couple of photos of a door. He was amused by what he saw.
On this door there is no handle. Broken. The remaining hole is a possible "open the door" signifier: "stick your finger here and pull". Yes, right...but there are better signifiers: do you see the silver things glue to the door to append papers with news?
They are easy to grab to open the door. They are accidental signifiers. The problem with these signifiers is that they aren't very well glued to the door. When you pull them too hard they detach from the door. You can find the "dead" pieces on the top of the heater:
Nice story isn't it?
