For Hi, Jack! Publishing’s Kiosk project at the Dappermarkt, the collective is focusing on gleaning – the act of gathering what is left behind or overlooked – as both a method and a lens through which to view contemporary economies, where reuse, uncertainty and informal circulation increasingly shape everyday life. During the market, they will compile a zine on the spot using discarded materials such as packaging, food scraps and found images, supplemented with drawings and contributions from visitors, turning the publication into a collective portrait of the market.
Central to this process are the pigeons and seagulls that inhabit the Dappermarkt, whom they regard as non-human co-producers and expert gleaners, whose survival depends on the rhythms of abundance and waste at the market; their presence highlights an overlooked economy, in which human trade constantly creates the conditions for other forms of life and labour. By drawing attention to these birds and their role in redistributing what is left behind, the project connects ecological and economic systems, and demonstrates that gleaning is not merely a marginal activity, but a fundamental, shared practice across species. The zine is printed locally and distributed at the market in exchange for a small donation, with the proceeds going to SOS Duif. In this way, the project engages with care, reciprocity and alternative value systems, whilst strengthening the interrelationships between the market, its human participants and its winged inhabitants.
