Mysterious Letters
We intend to write to everyone in the world..
In April 2009, we sent a personal, handwritten letter to each of the 467 households in the small Irish village of Cushendall. We hoped these unsolicited letters would prompt neighbourly discussion, spreading across the town, promoting community curiosity.
In November 2009, we sent another bundle of letters, this time 620, to each home in Polish Hill, Pittsburgh, USA.
The art work consists solely of the discussion between the recipients about what on Earth these letters are, who sent them and why, etc.

this is so wonderful, it makes my heart feel light.
ReplyDeletethese letters have not only consumed my boring morning, they have made me laugh (more than 7 times) and think, and smile.
ReplyDeleteI hope you aren't offended if I decide to start speaking randomly with strangers, as it is a theme akin to your ideas. I just love the entire thought process behind this.
