[col⋅lection] (for pleasure) a part of the instinct which tries to keep a thing in memory

[motive]
I would like to possess houses by pressing and drying them, as people keep leaves between the sheets of a book, and as people collect stamps. The houses have their own smell. Even in my absence, they would have their own atmosphere. Now I would collect the memory and the atmosphere, with every possible means available.

[means]
I would seek a house which stirs my memory, pick it up, put in between sheets of a thick book, press it like a flat leaf, put it in a transparent plastic envelop for protection, and pin the plastic envelop as a collection.
