Anyone who has searched for a job knows of the hardships that come along with it; you may send out hundreds of resumes but only get a chance at a few interviews if you’re lucky, and for one intelligent individual Miruna Macri, an art design student, doesn’t leave her luck up to employers. Instead, she has created more than 20 copies of fake passports with her resume and design portfolio. She deliberately and literally throws her identity out on the streets of New York City hoping to get her dream job. The main idea is if you find someone’s passport, you track that person down and give it back to them. And with Macri throwing her deliberately lost passport out onto the streets, someone is bound to return it.
