'Snow White's Coffin is an integrated radio and record player that introduced Plexiglas to the domestic interior. Relieve yourself of the excruciating clutter of the world is what it says to you everything you thought was being alive is revealed as a problem which can be solved by good design.' These poems were written in Berlin while Kate Camp held the Creative New Zealand Berlin Residency between September 2011 and October 2012.
