Peckham Carboot ends at 2pm, but the crowds actually dwindle considerably after 1pm (probably because it's mealtime). After 1pm most of the shopkeepers were sitting on their stalls chatting.
The peak of the carboot crowds today was between 11am and 12pm.

# data[].attributes.body
As the physical objects associated with the peckham carboot are probably more the objects of the stallholders than those of the founders or the team, the installation may not be as appropriate if I also want to tell the history of the peckham carboot.
I started to set my sights on making a book.

I think our teamwork was successful overall, but there were a few details that could have been optimised.

1. Sometimes excessive democracy can reduce efficiency. In terms of the details of the final format, I feel that one person (the group leader or art director) could have set a uniform standard that would have been implemented by the others directly and separately. In practice, however, our group spent a lot of time in meetings to confirm some formatting details, which I felt was somewhat inefficient. (Our online meeting to confirm typographic details even lasted close to three hours!)

2. good use of resources. I had never been to the archives before this, and didn't even know they were open to the general public. After exploring the archive with Priya and the rest of the group, I found it to be a great and handy repository for books, photos, maps and even tickets. The search function on its website is very powerful and you can get physical copies very quickly after you have booked them.

3. Communication is important. We had students from all over the world in our group, so we all had to communicate in English rather than our native language. This can sometimes be difficult, especially if you are discussing a project with someone from the same country as you but also speaking English. During all the discussions about the project, we communicated in English throughout to make sure that everyone understood. We were very proud of ourselves.

4. Have a sense of time. As this is a group assignment, any delay by one person will cause delays for the whole group. Even though the group leader stressed every step of the ddl, there were still delays. So it becomes important to remind everyone again about ddl before ddl.

I found a book called On Brick Lane in Google Scholar which is super fit to my research ares, but there is a charge to read it on the web. I tried many ways but could not get the part I needed from it.

Finally, just as I was about to pay for it, my friend reminded me to look for it in the library. I searched the school's library enquiry system without hope and it turned out to be available in the lcc library! I chose to have the book sent from the lcc campus library to the camberwell campus library on the search screen. This was the first time I had used the cross-campus transfer function and the whole process went surprisingly smoothly.

When I did my own project, I used this skill to borrow the LCC College book on second-hand culture

I drew a guide for children in the peckham community to participate in carboot, because most children participating in carboot do not have a clear understanding of the process (they just follow their parents). I tried to make the children more involved in carboot by drawing the process.

Although I ended up choosing the first colour scheme, the two colour schemes are not really comparable (as they are not the same image!)
Next time if I make an attempt at colour matching, I'm going to do a different colour combination on the same image and compare again.

I tried to connect the next owner of the different objects on the stall with the previous owner.
The man in the picture is the owner of the stall, while the top and bottom are the future owners of the objects I imagine in the picture. Through the image I wanted to show the bridging role that the carboot assumes in this.

There is something about the story of the old man and the chair that I learned when I interviewed the buyer that touched me.

I made a collage using different materials of white paper. I used pencil and ink to produce different effects on the different textures of the paper.

One interesting thing I found was that the style of the stalls often matched the image of the stallholders perfectly.
Even when there are a lot of people rummaging through a stall looking for clothes, you can clearly tell who the stall owner is.

The base is too dark and too thick for me to like the effect.

I have painted some of the more unusual or better looking second hand items on carboot.

I was intrigued by one of the stalls specialising in children's items. That stall had a lot of very elaborate toys for children and the stall owner's daughter was also involved in selling second hand.
I painted some lovely children's toys.

I drew some of the buyers and sellers of ceramics at the peckham carboot. I observed the people involved in the carboot and although it was predominantly young people, there were quite a few children and middle aged and older people. It is a very inclusive place.

I painted another version of the map in monoprint with the paints I had taken back from the RISO earlier. I recorded the location of some of the cars.
However, the picture is a bit dirty because the paint is so thick that it gets everywhere easily.
I think next time I need to use a paper towel or something to get the excess paint off before transferring.

This one is a sketch I did after I got home, documenting a stallholder I saw lying asleep at carboot.
She is lying on a tiny blanket with all her things stowed away in a giant suitcase.
I quite like the composition, so maybe I can develop this page of the sketch a bit.

There are some similarities between this project of hers and mine, which is a good reference for me.
She went to the market regularly in the early morning for two years in a row, looking for a way to document the atmosphere of the market and preserve the memories and stories of the community.
I really liked the format of her work, she used an archival format to document everything about the market. For Carboot I could take a similar approach, exploring whether it is possible to use physical objects to carry more than just books.

Aug 29, 2018 - "We Bootleg, We Boyz, We unmistakably Bizness" - Boot Boyz Biz are a bootleg t-shirt initiative from Chicago. Beginning in early 2015 as "a reaction to the discontent we have towards the current state of bootleg merchandise", BBB design and print limited edition pieces that reference and appropriate a range of phenomena.

I really like this collage by Catarina Sobral.
Although she is a children's picture book artist and her overall style leans towards childish and cute, this collage of hers is well worthy of my attention. The clash of different textures is perfect for the furnishings of the stalls in the peckham carboot.

As there was very little information about peckham carboot that I could find online other than the official website and ins account, I started looking for some new sources of information.
I tried to contact the official carboot staff by writing an email on the contact page of the peckham carboot website, and after explaining my intentions they sent me a Google email address to send more detailed questions.

# data[].attributes.body
After a week of waiting, I received an exciting letter back!
I wasn't expecting the founder of peckham carboot to answer all my questions in such detail. I was very impressed with the transformation from a total of four cars at the first carboot to a full house at every carboot now. It's a testament to the huge impact carboots have on the local community.

Gmail - Follow-up_ Peckham Carboot Project Interview Questions

Here's a poster xxx designed for the Columbia Music Festival, and I love everything about this drawing!

I think carboot lends itself well to bright colours because in fact peckham carboot is colourful too.

# data[].attributes.body
I interviewed about a dozen sellers who had stalls at Peckham carboot and the main questions were the following:

1. How many times have you participated in carboot?
2. Why did you choose carboot instead of vinted or ebay or other online second-hand platforms?
3. Where did you find out about carboot?
4. What do you think are the advantages of carboot?
5. What do you think are the shortcomings of catboot at present?
6. Do your friends and family know about carboot? What is their attitude?
7. How many clothes do you buy on average every month? What are your main sources of clothing?
8. How are the results of today's sale?

I found a surprising convergence in the answers I received from the interviews. Most of the sellers' sources of knowledge about carboot are from family and friends. Almost all of the sellers said they found it a hassle to take photos of the clothes/items and upload them to the online second-hand platform, and they would prefer to get rid of their unwanted clothes easily and conveniently. Many of the sellers said they liked the atmosphere of the carboot and that they liked the feeling of being there and talking to people face to face. Almost all of the sellers were happy with the results of their sale and were happy that their unwanted items had found new owners.

“Individuals disposing of commodities as a way of making space are the primary means by which goods enter the second-hand world.” （Gregson, 2003, p.120).

Gregson and Crewe (2003) point out that carboot has a number of additional impacts in addition to the money to be made, as opposed to the simple and crude dumping of unused anonymously in charity shops.
The positive impact provides a respectful and embodied process of selling. Selling something that is being sold for a positive reason (e.g. pregnancy, retirement) allows for mutual affirmation of people, and others are affirming the seller's taste when they buy their items.
Negative influences, on the other hand, may be a subjective desire not to be noticed if the seller is selling for a negative reason (e.g. gaining weight).

Gregson and Crewe (2003), in the second section of Constituting Geographies of Second-hand Exchange from Scratch: Car-boot Sales and the Workings of Regulatory Power, identify Historically, carboots have been resisted for two main reasons:
1. Carboots were seen as 'unfair competition' because consumers were not protected by after-sales service and sellers were exempt from the law.
2. In the mid-1990s, carboot was described as 'out of control'. Due to the rapid expansion of carboots, it caused problems such as noise and traffic.

The weather on May 7 was very good, and there were a lot of buyers and sellers this time. I did a statistic on the different types of sellers that participated:
Clothes and shoes: 78
Miscellaneous: 23
Jewelry: 4
Draw: 1
Records: 1
Plants: 2
Book: 1
Ceramics: 1
Bicycle: 1
Children's products: 1
Food and drink: 2
These data are counted by my naked eyes, and may not be 100% accurate, because sometimes you cannot distinguish between two people setting up a stall together or setting up a stall independently of each other.
I am shocked by the statistics. I didn't expect so many sellers to participate, because the total number of participating sellers exceeded a hundred.
But although there are many people involved, there are many non-individual sellers among them. It is easy to distinguish between individual sellers and non-individual sellers. Individual sellers have very low and more casual pricing, while non-individual sellers tend to have higher prices.
(My definition of non-individual sellers here is that what they buy is not personal idle items, but purchases from somewhere and makes money through carboot)

# data[].attributes.body
In areas without cars most sellers only use one suitcase for their stuff. They used a blanket to spread everything out on the floor, and when they packed up they stuffed everything into a suitcase.

The sellers in the car area quickly packed up and left. The originally crowded and lively venue suddenly became deserted and spacious, as if everything had never happened before.

Chat with a grandmother selling jewellery

# data[].attributes.body
This is a grandmother who sold jewellery that I interviewed before I left that day. I had my eye on a ring on her stall, but I was out of cash at the time. I asked her if I could make a bank transfer, and to my surprise she said she'd give me the ring as a gift! I was very surprised and happy and she said she had a very happy day too, she had sold a lot of things, the people here were so friendly and she had had a very nice day so she wanted to give me a ring to share her joy.

She explained that the items she was selling were from the jewellery shop her sister used to run and they had been piling up in her home since the jewellery shop closed. She had a steady income and she was only setting up the stall to make some extra money to spend on taking her mum on holiday.

‘When you get old like me and nearly 60, you have a house full of stuff.' This sentence made me picture.

Chat with two young sellers selling clothes

# data[].attributes.body
The boy said in the chat that this was his first time setting up a stall, so he was not very clear about the pricing of the clothes. He found that people were less tolerant of prices and it was difficult to sell clothes at a higher price as most people came with the mindset of picking up a bargain. But despite this he was very happy with the results and said he would come back to sell his unused items again.

The girl said she might not come back to carboot because most of the clothes she sells are new and designer, and they are all small in size, making it difficult to find the right size buyer on carboot.

As a result, clothes with a high brand value and in very small sizes are not suitable for sale on carboot. They are more suited to online second-hand platforms, which have a wider audience.

I was interested in the concept of carboot partitioning that she mentioned. Before that, I had noticed that the peckham car boot could be roughly divided into two areas with and without cars, but I hadn't thought about the difference. She pointed out in the chat that the area without cars is mostly for students and young people, selling mainly clothing, which is relatively cheap and young. The area with the cars was more diverse, with significantly more stalls selling sundries and more dated clothing.

She said it was the first time she had ever set up a stall to sell anything, but she had been buying from carboot for years. I think the change in identity from buyer to seller also represents the impact of carboot on people's lifestyles.

Growing in Motion: The Circulation of Used Things on Second-hand Markets

# data[].attributes.body
‘Such thickly inscribed objects in-motion affect subjects in particular ways, engendering narrative richness and sociality, and inviting considerations not just of past histories of the thing, but also of its present and future trajectories. Once on the market place, it is often the thick inscriptions of its prior circulation and social entanglement that become its primary source of value. This can be contrasted with the disembedded and solitary object-subject-relationship that characterises first cycle commodities. ’(Appelgren, 2015).

This is a piece I found by accident on pinterest, it is the winning entry of the AI-AP American Illustration Competition illustrated by Sarah Mazzetti (Italia). I was deeply impressed by the composition and colour scheme of this drawing.

I really like the design of the four divisions on the right side of the painting, which appear to be separate from the main image, but are constantly intertwined and finally merged together. I think I can imitate the design of this split-screen and integrate it with the main image through some ingenuity.

Inspiration from a previous sketch. I changed the reclining woman to a man and changed the items for sale. When drawing I used only red and green.

In order to dig up more stories about second-hand items and people, I also interviewed some people who buying things in Peckham Carboot. The main questions were the following:

1. What is the most impressive second-hand item you bought from Peckham Carboot? Why it makes you impress?
2. How has your life changed after owning it? /How has it affected you?
3. Have you ever sold a second-hand item? If so, what were the reasons for selling?

The answers to these questions are so varied that there is no way for me to draw any valid conclusions - they are, after all, all too personal.
And I encountered some problems in asking the questions. Most people's responses to the impressive items they bought at carboot were that there were no impressive items. (I find this very understandable, as most people who shop carboot just want to get the right clothes at a cheap price.)
Collecting buyers' stories became very difficult.

# data[].attributes.body
The most impressive item was the recliner I bought here a few months ago. I had no intention of buying a recliner that day, I just suddenly thought it would fit in my home when I saw that recliner and asked the seller for a price.
The seller was a man in his 50s or 60s and his offer was very cheap. As to why I was impressed, it could be because the seller had a very distinctive beard, or because he shared some of his story with me about the chair. He said that in the past he used to carry this chair to his garden and lie on it to read a book. They spent quite a long time together. Now he is moving to a flat and no longer has a garden, and this vintage chair no longer goes with his new modern home, so he has decided to sell it.
For some reason I can always think of him when I lie on it, and sometimes I move the chair into the garden to lie on it and read a book. It's a wonderful feeling to lie on it and read a book, a feeling of some kind of connection with the previous owner.

When I mentioned the significance of the Peckham Carboot, my first thought was of its great environmental value, but after doing so many research, I came to realise that it was more than simply an event to reuse second-hand items; it represented a way of life for the participants.
For the sellers, it's a way of life of disconnection. Instead of just hoarding the unused items or throwing them away, they choose to give them a second life.
For the buyers, carboot gives them the opportunity to meet the sellers face-to-face and to learn the stories behind the second-hand goods. For both buyers and sellers, the act of selling and buying second-hand goods is in itself an act of support for the environment, and they choose to go to peckham carboot for these activities because carboot has a greater appeal than other platforms.
I decided to use my work to promote a way of life that is about the environment but not just about the environment, it's also about object memory and humanism.
