26 beloved person card files (A4)
3 display tables

The card files were created in the format of the italian Permit of Stay ("Permesso di Soggiorno"). They include: personal data about the beloved person, date and reason of stay, type of the visa and its date of expiry. The immigration terminology is applyed on the emotive-romantic dimention, while the country that issues the visas is in this case the Ego Republic: AUTORITA' D'IO, which creates in italian an ambiguos word play: The Regime of the Self=Regime of God.
