The Department of Distractions

T77769276
A single glove in the street, A pair of shoes hanging from a telephone wire, A torn up love letter in a Metro carriage, A phone box that rings as you walk past... You see their work - but you never see them. So subtle you might not even notice. Snags in the fabric of everyday life.

We invite you to take a privileged look behind the secret doors of The Department of Corrections & Clari cations.
