Who Stands in Your Place?

Who Stands in Your Place?: the poster

Certainty, made visible: two doors to the same table, a band list that turns both ways and the Register’s single gate of sworn proof; someone in your seat, a stranger signing a release in your place at the band’s table while at the Register’s each seat carries its holder’s Record Code and an empty one is held for the unborn; the ladder of proof, a list at the foot and the oath before a magistrate near the top; and the one-way doors by which an interest given up for others cannot be got back. The web edition lets a stranger try your seat at both tables.

SubtitleThe law set a certainty for this interest: each holder ascertained on oath. A band list cannot keep it.
