I am wondering whether to call a friend and ask her where the questionnaire I gave her is. Over some months I have been handing out this questionnaire to people who know me, friends, colleagues, collaborators, members of my family, ex-lovers, competitors, clients, my former boss. The form, which I created, asks them to consider and estimate what I am worth. It starts with the disclaimer that this exercise is an art project and that completing the questionnaire will, hopefully, not affect our relationship, although I know of course it must. This friend chooses not to fill it in and seems quite angry that I had thought she would do so. Around 70 other people, however, do fill it in and give it back to me. Later the results are assembled, analysed and published in my book, Audit (Kimbell, 2002)
