Public Letters Project is a combination of performance, interactive, and multimedia/digital art. 5 performers wearing uniforms (black suit, blue shirt, black tie) will hand out up to 500 letters (preliminarily), and each envelope will be addressed to specific visual qualities of certain pedestrians, e.g. "to the woman with the black jacket." Each letter is designed to be obscure and slightly confusing, but minimal and interpretable. Each letter follows a specific minimal style and layout.
Letter receivers will be advised to visit publiclettersproject.blogspot.com if they wish to find out more about what they have recieved. There they will find a blog set up for the discussion of the letters project, where they are encouraged to interact and describe their reactions - negative or positive.
The performance will, if possible, be filmed and photographed, for documentation purposes. The documentary photographers will, if possible, remain unkown to the letter recievers.
The main focus of this project is to subtly disrupt the everyday of a number of pedestrians: They will participate involuntarily in an art performance by opening the envelope and reading the letter.
The artwork is the letters, the performance, the surveillant documentary footage (if possible a short film and some photographs) and the content of publiclettersproject.blogspot.com
