The ‘Distant Dialogue’ project consists of three hardback books and three scripted books involving the process of correspondence. The work involves a fictionalized character and I write back to junk mail with an adopted persona and a sense of self exposure as well as self concealment. There is a critique of the junk mail, the act of correspondence and the impersonal with the personal through a play of humour. The slight absurd gesture takes away from the everyday of receiving such mail but plays on the romantically high whilst involving an internalized duality and inordinately being exposed to the gaze of others.
