DELANO: It was around the time when I first started really becoming like homeless - like living a nomadic lifestyle. 
I’ve been homeless for five years and I’ve been like houseless for three.

DELANO: What do I keep in the locker?

TJ Glenn: I use this mostly for storing my professional stuff. I am a stuntman and a fight-choreographer. So I keep my swords here and my period-costumes. And my mats - and my equipment and a lot of my reference-books. And this is where I come a couple a times a week - to keep my household. I am currently living on people’s couches - I probably end up keeping this even when I get an appartment - because I just - I was in a room  - I was in a place that had seven rooms - for seven years - and I filled it.

mo: That means that the storage is quite safe? 
07:30
Assistent: Yes.
Producer: They are video-monitored. They have a key to get it up. A magnetic key to get in. (shows card) 
A magnetic-card put it into the slot, reads the code on it, opens the door for you. 

mo: And nobody else.
Producer: No - and plus first you have to go into the office and activate it. 
mo: Aha.
Producer: You activate it there and sign a log. If you do not go there first it would not open any other doors. It only opens the doors to your floor. 
Producer: See this is broken. 
mo: Ahaha.
Producer: It does not lock. 
mo: So you even do not need the card.
Producer: I complained about it yesterday and now I am gonna complain about it again.

TONY: (AssistentManager): 
(off) Four feet high, four feet deep and five feet tall.
(on) It comes with shelf and a hanging raw. And people can store their clothes, shoes, personal effects. No furniture. Because some people here they do not have any furniture. They just keep - they just need to put their clothes inside. So that’s we offer. That’s the smallest one.
10:55:08
mo: And how much? 
TONY: 75 Dollars a month.
10:58:00

11:33:08
(Man with spectacles at the entrance cannot get in)
mo: You are locked out. You don’t have a - you don’t have a card! 

TONY: (with customer) New Jersey is good. Because New York is so expensive. It’slike a big house? 
customer: No appartment. 
TONY: Appartment? That’s good. Good luck!
Nony: They found an appartment in New Jersey. In New Jersey the houses are cheaper. In New York it’s crazy. So now - he is moving out. He is taking all his stuff and he has a new house in New Jersey.

CHRISTIAN (in a cab uptown):
mo: There is not a storage space for each appartment.
CHRISTIAN: For each appartment - no. Most of my friends - you know -the buildings do not have it. My sister’s building does. So she was very happy to get it.
CHRISTIAN: But I mean I just had a friend who bought an appartment here on 14th Street. He has paid 215 000 Dollars for the appartment and there is no storage. Huge building but he has no storage. 
mo: But is the appartment big?
CHRISTIAN: Yah, the appartment is very big. Large one bedroom.  
mo: Aha.

PinBoard: Suffering from more than emotional baggage?

Driver: Where do you gonna?
CHRISTIAN: Other site. 
Driver: Other site.
mo: Here, here - the blue one. Here stopp here. Great.
14:12:09

(CHRISTIAN working to the sound of music)

mo: It’s closed - whau !
__________

15:13:01(in the cab going down-town)
CHRISTIAN: It’s worth that. It’s worth that to have all my stuff.
mo: What do you think about paying the storage?
CHRISTIAN: Well you know, if you do not have it in your building  you have to figure that it is just part of your rent. You know that’s just part of your rent. And that’s it. There is nothing you can do. You know if it is not part of your building. Even my sister - who has storage in her own building - has still to pay a small amount each month for this storage. 
mo: How much?
CHRISTIAN: I think it is 30 Dollars or something. But you know it is just part of your rent. You have to figure it as that. 
mo: But of course it is more comfortable if it’s in your house. 

CHRISTIAN: (off) Oh yeah definitively. I would go there much more often and really utilize it more. I just put things in and forget about it. Forget what’s in there. Forget what I have exactly. 
A little bit closer.

16:17:00 (in front of Christian’s home)
mo: Are you sure? 
CHRISTIAN: By this point. 
You got the rattan mat.? 
mo: Yah.
CHRISTIAN: Thank you.

16:40:00 (- bikes -) 
BIKERIN with daughter: My husband went up to pick up my bike and this is his bike and this is her bike.
mo: You have a locker in the storage for keeping the bikes?  
BIKERIN: Mhhh. Bike and furniture and a couple of other things. 
mo: And why do you keep the furniture up there? 
BIKERIN: Why? Because we have storage for now and we just keep it up because we do not have enough space. 
mo: And you hope that you will get another space. 
BIKERIN: A better space. 
17:17:19
(Washington - insert)
mo: How long are you already keeping it?
BIKERIN: For about three month now. 
mo: And how long will it last?
BIKERIN: I hope another three month and that’s it.

(JOSELY in her loft.)
17:54:18
mo: So why you are giving up this place?
JOSELY: They are now doing a penthouse here. He is going to build it up to the roof and he is going to make a stair here. And it is going to be a luxury penthouse. 

18:08:06 (totale loft - boxes)

JOSELY: (off) Everything is going to be encased and I should do another installation on rolls. 
mo: Do you have a enough space to store the things?  
JOSELY: No. Now I am on a 20 200 squarefeet here - and I am going to store on a 120 squarefeet. 
I move during the day. Come seven o’clock in the night - and I start making new works on paper.
mo: You start?  
JOSELY: I just cannot stop. I got some old things, I combine, I put it. I did more than 15 new works. And I have not touched the computer in the last two weeks. 
mo: So you are back to the old ... -  
JOSELY: Yeah but I know I cannot - because I know I will have only as a studio the computer. Everything else will be stored. I am storing in the computer. And I just lost nine gigabytes of storing-material five days ago. Puff. That’s it. And I do not know what I had there. 
mo: Ah.
JOSELY: I think that’s another item in terms of store. Because you do not know anymore what you have inside. 
mo: It’s like burn down the house. 
19:37:22
JOSELY: Yeah one store things that you do not know. That’s interesting. Because it is... even here I try to go over of many of the things but I’m sure of course I cann’t. 

JOSELY: This is the key of here - and the turtle. Because the turtle carries her history in her body - they carry their history in their carabass.
For me the turtle has been a symbol a methaphor for me - it is always in my work.

TurtleCLIP.

JOSELY: And in a way in the Book-of-Roofs the turtle transforms itself into a clay roof tile. And that’s how I started the website. So what I am doing – I am transposing some of the works of the past into a language of the internet to be in the Book-of-Roofs.
20:43:00 (Website Book-of-Roofs)
So you have the turtles here. They turn into the tiles.
And this is part of an installation that I did in Brazil in 1997, which was the beginning of the Book-of-Roofs. So I show 15 pages to an  video projection. And then all this tiles were given to a housing project to be permanent on the roof of people. So then I did not have anymore the tiles to continue the book. So they got virtual.

21:21:13 (Website Book-of-Roofs) 
21:28:14

JOSELY: Conceptually it has to be in the internet. That’s the storage of the book, you know - which is this place that is placeless. 
mo: So it is available everywhere. 

JOSELY: Yah. But in fact I do not know where is it. What is this place? 
mo: Is it always there where somebody is looking at it?

(people carring CLIP - music then WebSite of TJ Glenn)

22:45:05
TJ Glenn: I am a fight-choregrapher and a stuntman. I teach physical acting, comedia. And I am in a better shape now than I was twenty. I can do more push-ups more sit ups - I have more steam than when I was twenty - I was a very sickly  child - very sickly. 
mo: When did you start to build up your body?  
TJ Glenn: The day that I picked up a sword. I was researching a novel that I was writing that had a sword-fight in it. I went to a stage combat class, I picked up a sword and I knew what I wanted to do the rest of my life. 
(23:17:20 TJ Glenn teaching 23:31:03)
TJ Glenn: Hshshsh for movies.
TJ Glenn: I am not a 20century person and this proves it. This is a Montrose-Jacket from a -  actually I have got married in this. 
Mo: Yah?
TJ Glenn: I got this and my kilts, my glan-kilts.
Some of the costume pieces. 
mo: Are they especially made for you or was it easy to get them?
TJ Glenn: Actually this was a ... This particular batch was found on the street.
You will be surprised what you can get away with you you just ahh -
mo: You just must watch out.
TJ Glenn: I am a garbage picker I admit it. I was a trash-diver. 
I got this years ago. Until yet I did not have an occasion to wear it. Except one show I did a scene from “The Prisoner of Zenda”. - And I wore it as a Rupert of Hentzau. Because suddenly it’s - now it’s the right periode for the hat and this.

Sunglasses.
mo: Is this private?
TJ Glenn: Oh no that’s I share.
mo: Ohhh! Don’t wanna meet you like that.
TJ Glenn: Oh yes this is my ”Take the license out of the wallet and step away from the car please!”
mo: How many rooms do you need for your own?
TJ Glenn: Haha. Versailles - the palace of Versailles would just be about the right size.
mo: It would fit to you.
TJ Glenn: Yeah - just about. Oh no I think two rooms this size I could make work. Because I am very organized. And it is kind of living in a submarine. I stuck the books tall and all that. To make it comfortable it would be nice what I had before - which was seven rooms. Six and a half rooms. Ahh, but even then it was a little crowded. But this was - wherever I am I want my daughter to have her own room. That’s her’s. We paint the same pictures on the wall we had in the other room. She can have her toys there and she feels very comfortable and familiar when she comes – you know - home to the room.
25:39:00
TJ Glenn: This one of the reasons why I am in this situation.
My wife – when she left – I was stucked with the rent for quite a bit of money.  And I had to alternate and give up the appartment where I have been in for seven years. So in seven years one accumulates a lot of stuff. Particulary when you are a horter like me.
This is the stuff which was on my desk.
mo: This was at your desk at home.
TJ Glenn: This was on my desk and around the desk, you know. Photographs.
mo: Yahh.
TJ Glenn: That was me some years ago at the Renaissance-Fair. That’s the real me. That was me as Dr. Strange from the comic books. Promotional from a television pilot that some friends and I produced last year, which we are trying to sell. 
TJ Glenn: I am a sort of person that will get a roll as an actor and then they will enlarge it.
mo: Yahhh. 
TJ Glenn: Here is a stage play.
mo: How many years ago?
TJ Glenn: About two years.
mo: Oh you had a hard time.
TJ Glenn:  Yahh. It has been a hard couple of years.
TJ Glenn: My darling. That’s Aslyn my daughter.
mo: Ohh.
TJ Glenn: I have had this elefant since I was 3 years old. - 
mo: Ah yah..
TJ Glenn: And it has been in every room I ever had and on every desk and hopefully someday it will be my daughter’s and she will have it on her desk. 
26:50:07
Well organized. It is less than an hour.
Sign: DID YOU LOCK YOUR STORAGEUSA UNIT?

27:04:00 (At CHRISTIANs appartment studio).
mo: You did only half of the job!
CHRISTIAN: No that’s not true! It is almost done. 
Mo: Oh it’s your teddy!
CHRISTIAN:  Isn’t that fun. I sew it and fabricate it all myself. It is my chinese - fur - coat. It is very warm actually.
mo: It is great. 
CHRISTIAN: Thank you. (28:04:13)
I love coats. It is so hard to resist buying a coat. It is so practical. So it is not like a frivolous item. You really use that. 
Well we got another cab full.
mo: Mhhhh. They will love us. 
CHRISTIAN: Ja. - Jawohl.
CHRISTIAN: One, two, three, four, five, six. Seven. Eight, that’s all about I have.

PORTER: I cannot keep the storage anymore.

PORTER: My hours are cut down. 
mo: What is cut down?
PORTER: My hours and my job are cut down.
mo: Ahaha! And how much is the rent of the storage?
PORTER: It is eighty Dollars a month.
mo: That’s much!
PORTER: That’s what I was able to afford it now I can’t. This cuts in my pay hurt.
I am a porter for a bar. I get paid to lift heavy things. 
mo: Aha.
PORTER: I get paid to lift 200 pound case. 
mo: 200 pounds cases - 
PORTER:  - of beer. 
mo: Aha.
PORTER: I also get paid for construction and electrical work. So that all goes along with the job. My job has a wide range. 
mo: And today?
PORTER: To day is my day off. I really try to take days off. I try to take off two days a week if I could. But this here is an emergency. I had to get this done. Otherwise I would be home sleeping right now.

Assistentin: That’s Kathy’s office that’s on it’s way to the storage which will  later be shipped to England where she will be working next.
_____
31:52:00
mo: Will you move everything from the computer?
KATHY: I backed everything upon CDs because it is going from a MAC to a PC. I think it is complicated.
mo: But there will be no information from you on the computer when you leave it here?
Kathy: No they wrap it. They will reformate it.
mo: You can leave the computers behind.
KATHY: Oh yah, because the data is transportable. Data is not fixed in a computer data you carry with you on a CD or you put it online - and it’s - that’s no problem. 
mo: It’s available everywhere.
KATHY: Yah. I mean you can take your data in your hip pocket.
mo: So you do not need a computer - why do you keep stuff of your own in a storage?
KATHY: Well. - Gosh overtheless. I should say about over twenty years I have been working as a media curator  accumulating papers. There is a lot of stuff that is not in data form and that is also important to have. I have accumulate a lot of books, videos, CDroms, photographs, letters, catalogues. Those are things which irreplaceable.
mo: This are things which are not replaceable. 
KATHY: Yeah and I do not wanna take the time to put them to data format and they also have attendable quality.

mo: So the way is - you are leaving one place and you are storing them there until  you find -
KATHY: - a new home for those things.
KATHY: All those materials are part of who I am because they trace what I have concentrated on. I mean it is in my head, of course, but it is not the same as actually as looking and having the things around and being able to use them and refer to them. And quote them and excerpt them.
33:44:13
KATHY: I have a bed and I have a couple of tables. Basically I don’t have furniture.
mo: Where is the bed located?
KATHY: It’s in my storage unit. Standing up, waiting to be shipped to England.
mo: You really wanna ship a bed to England?
KATHY: Yeah it is a brand new bed. It is a beautiful brand new bed.
mo: Will it not be cheaper to buy a new one in England ? 
KATHY: No, it’s too expensive. It is just a mattress and the boxsprings. The bed itself is gonna be shipped – because it is brand new.

34:12:00 (KATHY packing boxes into a car with her Assistent.)

(34:30:00 driving the car)
KATHY:  Looks a little bit like a lake right now. Or a river. 
mo: Does water go inside ? 
KATHY: No, it stays up. 
mo: Yeah.
KATHY: Mine is 4 – 39. O.K. There is mine. 
mo: 39
KATHY: 4 - 39
mo: Ah, some furniture!
KATHY: A couple of things.
mo: Why do you for example keep this table here?
This is a table from the thirties. It is a tin topped kitchen table. It used to - you know - it has a top where you can make bred and stuff on it. It is just a collectible item - it is not that it is valuable. But I just thought that I will never find it again and it belonged to a friend of mine who died. And it is a thing I have from her house. So it is sentimential. 
KATHY: And I’m gonna take this CDs with me so I’ll have some music. And I shall take the umbrella and let’s get out of here.

DELANO: I DID INHALE!
DELANO: This is one of my collections here. Very small but still growing.

(Storage/inside/ rooms with blue doors.)

HEDINA: I love this places. They are so like - not really real. They look like on another planet. Sometimes. And sometimes it is really empty. Nobody is here.
mo: It is smaller than the other we have seen, right.
HEDINA: Yes it is much smaller - because it is kind of - because you have to pay all the time. So I took the one in which everything fits in perfectly in the moment. 
HEDINA: I hate the packing, you know. Because you have to pack it so well. I would love just to have somebody - I just can give the stuff and they do all the packing. And I just can make a phone call: ”Number 517, please and this number - and that...” But I have to do it myself at the moment.
mo: It’s self storage.
HEDINA: That’s future - haha. I hope so. Ok. Well, and mostly it is hard, because you have to put really good lables on the boxes. Often I change the content of the boxes. So sometimes I’m really surprised what comes out of box. Because I’m not all the time as perfect as I wish I would be. So, - mostly it is in there what I think it is. 
mo: But sometimes surprise. 
HEDINA: Sometimes surprise, yeah.
mo: What is in the box? It is like Christmas.
HEDINA:  Empty frames. I can show empty frames! I was thinking  there is an image on it . But I took it already out. Sorry about that. 
Och. Art is so heavy sometimes. 
mo: Oh take care! There is something else on here. 
HEDINA: Thank you. 

HEDINA: This was from the series "Subject or Object". Which I had ... - a show in the Thompskin Square Gallery. That was in 1999. Spring something like that. 
Here they are a little  bit  upside down. 
You know than I do more work and more work and all I’m interested in is the newest work. So it is  -  I have tons of work,  you know.
mo: yahh - go ahead.
HEDINA: Just tell me ...

Upside down again. I just ...  - I put it in this map - in  this portfolio - not to show just to store.

CHRISTIAN: O.K. (off) See you know it also happened Ingrid this time - in fact - it has been really exhausting this week. (on) Because I also re-arranged my entire appartment. So it has been a couple of days this week just doing that: re-arranging everything - all furniture. I got rid of some furniture.
mo: You sell them or ...?
43:21:22
CHRISTIAN: (trying to hang a coat into the locker) You know, I put the chest here to day - and - you know - and I give some to a driftshop. 
43:43:11 (chair into the locker).
Now I am done. O.K. 

44:17:06
CHRISTIAN: (at home in the bathroom)
mo: That’s so nice about wigs you can choose the color of the evening.
CHRISTIAN: That’s true. Good point.
mo: To day red? 
CHRISTIAN: You know, a kind of blondish red.

BADER: I am the Versteigerung.
His wife (- off.): No Versteigerer.
BADER:  Versteigerer! 
mo: No, please talk English.
BADER: We just do auctions for not only ManhattenMiniStorage - but other storage-houses - who employ us, that is MiniStorage. We send out what they call a sheet every month to tell them where the auctions are taking place, the time of the auctions and so that’s the way it goes.

46:17:20 (Storages - inside. Off - voices)
God job!

a book with the title: 
RUBBISH! THE ARCHEOLOGY OF GARBAGE

_________
Store/inside - office
SANDY: Actually you could see, is that the photographer?
mo: Yahh. 
SANDY: This came from a locker that belonged - I told you - a black guy -
mo: with the red sofa! 
SANDY: Actually I sold the red sofa - I sold it for a hundred Dollars - just so.
mo: Is it still standing there? - 
SANDY: It is still here. I can’t win. I just wanna get it out the door and it don’t happen. 

SANDY: Anything to do with the stuff in the rooms is the recycling business. It’s thrown out. It’s taken back out of the garbage. 
Silver. 
mo: From one storage to the other,  yah.
MARTY: We need a storage-warehouse. I’m try to find one.

48:50:13
(Monitor: CONNECTING TO WEB-TV)

SANDY: Yesterday some of our auctions ended but we have new auctions. Actually right now we have 31 items on auction. They were put on yesterday. Here on the screen eBay we have the things that we put on like the silver is up to 38 Dollars. And over the course of a week we have expectations of - you know - 100 Dollars, 150 Dollars hopefully. If it goes beyond that we are happy. - I paid for this 50 Dollars. So it is not even what I paid. If I did not put it on eBay I would sell it to someone for cash. But you know with eBay sometimes something like this can go for 200 Dollars you don’t know.
It’s a good way of selling stuff. And sometimes you win and sometimes you loose. 

49:52:21 (store/office) 
SANDY: Well, let me show you this portrait of Kleeberg. It is done by an artist Rudolf Hermann 1931. Who is actually a listed artist. 
mo: Yah.
SANDY: Which is when he  was probably when he was still in Germany. And here is a photo of Kleeberg.
We found his family-fotos. - That’s his wife. That’s Kleeberg’s wife. 
mo: And this?
SANDY: Ohh! - This is probably a lock of Fred Kleeberg’s hair when his was a baby.
mo: This is from the same locker? 
SANDY: Yeah.
mo: I see!
SANDY: This is like a rich field.
SANDY: It is like a time-capsule from the turn of the century up until the late twenties. 
SANDY:(on) This book is from 1925 when Kleeberg’s - Dr.Ludwig Kleebergs son was born. And it is a detailed diary from day to day. The formalities of life that we sort of lost over the years. 
Somebody is actually groomed and grown from a child and the time and the care that was focused on him.  Today people have kids they do not give a shit about kids really. They just want kids. They want to  propagate an image of themselves - and they do not give the time that it deserves.
So this is unfer -
mo: Unser Kind. Our child.

51:50:00 

SANDY: This duck is maybe Steiff. You know Steiff? Because we’ve had Steiff from Kleeberg before. Maybe this might go on eBAY. This could go for good money.

53:12:15 (TJ Glenn on his way to his Storage unit)
TJ Glenn: Actually I found a desk last night about a block from the house. So actually I have a workspace now. Which is perfect! We would not to have buy one. Here was one a block from the house. (inside the storage)
So, I start teaching at the acting and stunt factory in September. And I actually last night I just got an eMail from the director from the Horror Movie I attend for. He said if he can do the movie without stars he wants me to play the lead and if he cannot do it without stars he wants me to play the second lead. 

53:49:05 STUNTPERFOMANCE

TJ Glenn: You make the sound effect on the hand - I do not like that one - because the people are looking where your hand is going - so they tend to see it. I tend to like - on the body - ahhm. But you know: Uhhhh! But again - this unless you are seeing another actor - you watch the actors face - and not this 
mo:yah.
TJ Glenn:  But ah - it is all like an illusion - look at this hand - while I make the noise with this hand. 
TJ Glenn:  This is going to the appartment. That bookcase will go to the appartment. This television is gone to the appartment - it is actually larger than Gindy’s TV and I am gonna have to switch my weapons and costumes from the back. They have to move up foreward. I move my other stuff and books in here and stuck them to the ceiling in the back.
TJ Glenn: I was couch surfing. That’s what I have been calling homeless but having friends whos couches you have to stay on. For essential almost three month. And I am staying in my girl friend’s place now for past two. I actually did have to sleep on the couch a couple of nights. 
mo: But you are a little bit tall.
TJ Glenn: Much tall. 
TJ Glenn: But being a Couch-Surfer fortunately is coming to an end. 
TJ Glenn: It was better than sleeping on the street. I consider myself very fortunately that I had friends. Even if I did not have this relationship with Gindy and it hadn’t worked out - I have friends. 
My elephant goes onto my desk as one of the first things since I have a little ... - I never named it either but - I had him - you know - on every desk I ever had and I had him since I was a youngster.
mo: You have a desk!
TJ Glenn:  Yahh. I’s amazing I have a space which is my space. It really is amazing what it does psychologically to have a space that is your own. 
Ach - ah. Soon this will just be a storage-space and it will not be my homebase. 
And it looks as if I even have a job. Which is an amazing concept or at least it will be a regular job - doing what I like doing  - teaching. And there is a real possibility that this movie will happen.

DELANO: I just got my drums like three days ago - and I have been without one - for about five month since I was playing on the bucky.

KATHY: I have a house but in England the houses are quite small. So I have three floors in my house. This is considerate kind of big. But there is not enough wallspace actualy to put shelfs. In fact - I would say about a third of my stuff is still packed. You know when you get in the swing - and you are busy and you get working you do not have the time to start  to pick through all the things. So it still is sitting in boxes. 

I bought a Queen-Size bed in Amerika.
I can get the mattress up to the second floor, but the boxspring - the part underneath - wantn’t fit. So it is sitting in my dining room right now - with a beautiful material over it. But I talked with my landlord. He can take out the window in my bedroom and they can pull it up outside. So next year I will have my bed.

follow me ...

JEFF: When we are performing we are archiving for three or four hours.  
mo: And how do you keep it? 
JEFF: DV-tapes. You could fit - maybe years of archiving - in a little box. 
I have not problem there. But the storage of the information in the folders in my brain that's where all the problems come.
mo: You used your whole brain allready?
JEFF: Yahh - mostly. I need to rent some storage-space for my brain. And also I got to buy some more time. If it is available - some time and extra space capacity. 
mo: So it's storage-space and time - that's all about. 
JEFF: Yah. Yah. I need  some more. So if you know of any that's available anywhere around here. Let me know.
