Post aus ... ("Mail from ...") was a long time mailart project from 2015 to 2021. It was my way to connect to a city, my collectors, an audience and to embrace a new place through my work during my nomadic years.
I would send miniature drawings or prints made on journeys for my work.The idea came about in 2015 when I had a groupshow in Paris where I showed sketches on paper and took them off the wall as a performance to send them as mail from Paris. The recipients of the mail did not know what they ordered beforehand. This project brought a lot of joy to everyone involved. Many people ordered every year or asked me to send some mail as surprise for friends, family or colleagues.
The Editions included: Paris/France (2015), Wroclaw/Poland (2016), Vienna/Austria (2017), Chongqing/China (2018), Colombo/Sri Lanka (2019), quarantine in Berlin/ Germany (2020), Tallinn/ Estonia (2021)
