    Over the past forty years, Jimmie Durham has collected ‘1000 magic objects that keep the world together’. These are always broken or abandoned objects that he has found in different places around the world. Durham sent the objects to CUJO, who photographed them all and printed them in the magazine’s third edition. On the back cover is a list of where the objects were found, ranging from Arkansas to Italy, from Belgium to Mexico. One of the 1000 objects was inserted in every subsequent edition, regardless of its size.
