after spending 6weeks on my new installation "hope it will reach you eventually..." it is really close to be completed. this installation focuses on the part of written communication culture which is quickly disappearing in our everyday life, due to modern technology of texting, emailing and social network sites. even though there are advantages of convenience and quickness of digital communication, some feelings and thoughts are better to be expressed through hand written words. so with this specific interactive installation I wanted to create a space where people are encourage to write a personal letter to someone they love and care. so come join us this saturday at @vpam_arts for our opening "silent wonderment" and write a letter to someone you care:)
