The Anonymous Letter project aims at getting involved with people`s private emotional space by confronting them to send an anonymous letter. Our goal is to start processes of social interaction that transcends the boundaries of the art space.
Procedure: the gallery officer will approach the visitor with an envelope containing a cd. Without knowing the content of the cd, the visitor will be asked to send it as an anonymous letter, to an address free of her choice. The envelope will be posted by the gallery.
The content on the cd is a sound piece. Our motivation behind this is a desire to work with aural experience of a world dominated by the visual. In using simple, pure ambiences, extracted and recorded from real life situations, we wish to set up a context for a process of listening where negotiation of space becomes the pivotal involvement. The recipient will have to engage in an active process of having to resolve the mystery origin of the sound.
The work happens from the lack of control of all parties involved, and hereby
making a statement about the potential excitement provoked by dismissed evidence.
