The Dictionary of Everyday Life (French: Dictionnaire de tous les jours) is a book-secret of an artist, a man without a permanent place and social benefits in foreign country. Finding himself in France without knowing the language and without basic household amenities, Igor begins life anew, he sets new goals, to which he desperately tries to find the keys.

The artist’s book is based on the German-French Dictionary, which Igor found in a second hand book store in Paris. On the streets Igor installed 6 site-specific locks with engraving personal things to do. The artist is going to unlock locks when goals are done.

Dimensions variable.
