this set was posted March 2020, three-quarters known to be successfully received, though one never realised as it was intended. i guess it’s still in singapore and you’ve moved on to taipei now, busy with digital things. then there’s one from you on the way, though i’ve also moved on, around the corner of the sea since then, and it will be a while before that post box can be checked. it’s the same post box that you sent your painting to, the one that was too small for the painting so the delivery person had used long rubber bands to strap it to the face of the box. you wished you had seen what that looked like when i told you about it, but unfortunately i had forgotten to take a photo. your painting is now framed and hanging at an odd angle from a pipe above my kitchen.

recently during a bonding session about mutual compulsive collecting habits, i told p about how i pilfer the werbung from other post boxes in my building, the unsolicited pieces that have nice plastic packaging that i can reuse to wrap other things. Once there was also a sticker advertising plumbing services, i have quite a few of them now. Very pretty.

it’s no surprise that all these things material and immaterial circle around one another like cyborgs and spirituality. he calls it the ‘eternal network‘. Looking again now from the current perspective of lonely immobility it feels sadly less anticipatory but only maudlin, a ‘radical inclusionism’ that makes most bored and need to leave the room. self-descriptive at best.
