Ghostmail
outdoor installation & sonic archive
Terrain Exhibitions hosted by Hyde Park Art Center
Oct 1 – Nov 15, 2021
Ghostmail was a public installation which facilitates messages between the living and the dead.
This work acted as a container for the voices of the dead, a growing collection of recordings from various media and time in memorium for those who have passed.
Ghostmail delivered these recordings to the public via letters in mailboxes on-site which passers-by could access by opening the letters and scanning a QR code. Each QR code was linked to one recorded voice from the collection. Participants could also scan a code on a small mailbox which provided instructions on how to write/offer a message back.
This installation served as a growing, public sound archive to connect us to the dead.
