She carries in her hand a sign that she found and which is common in the surroundings: proprietà privata (private property). She places it in various places, such as in front of trees, garbage cans, or a car, and then poses with it. In this way katharinajej appropriates the respective place for the moment of being photographed, and makes the objects her private property. Following the photo shooting katharinajej finally even moves into a house and to people of the village.
