Admit One stub box



I came across this image on Pinterest and unfortunately I have been unable to find the name of the designer.  I can see from close observation that the papers inside the box are all tickets from events such as concerts, football matches and cinema viewings.  There may also be a few wristbands in there from nightclubs.  I suppose this box could represent what you have taken part in during the last year or so in terms of socialising events.  It could also act as a kind of memory box, even though you can't see all the places you've been, you know the ticket are in the box somewhere, sort of like how you brain hold memories.  

I can imagine this piece on a wall in public places (shopping centre, restaurant, sidewalk) that way it would become a city memory box.  It could be great for tourism by showing how many events they have to offer, however the same stub could end up in there twice.  I could also see this piece mounted on your bedroom wall.  Instead of a picture wall or a shoebox under your bed, this could be on display to see whenever you want as a physical reminder; it's not an ugly looking box either!  I think I can assume that this piece was created in order to get people more involved in doing things, because when you don't participate you can't fill the box with anything.
