Schreib bitte wieder bald, ich warte jeden Tag auf Post (Please write again soon, I wait every day for mail) centers around the idea that postcards are being replaced more and more by other – digital and less personal – communication tools. These tools are changing how people interact; at the same time, they are also a result of changes in interpersonal interaction and relations.
In the installation, visitors are invited to send old postcards to themselves. The postcards being used for this purpose were collected at flea markets and thrift stores and tell stories of their own, of their time, of their former author and recipients. After readdressing a postcard, the new recipients can either choose to interpret the story as being addressed to them, or they can remove their address label and reconnect the original author and the person to whom the card was originally addressed.
