Mysterious Letters

Mysterious Letters is one of the loveliest projects I have ever stumbled upon. In April 2009 Lenka Clayton & Michael Crowe sent a personal, handwritten letter to all 467 households in the small Irish village of Cushendall.

‘We hoped these unsolicited letters would prompt neighbourly discussion, spreading across the town, promoting community curiosity. The art work consists solely of the discussion between the recipients about what on Earth these letters are, who sent them and why, etc.’

I know it wasn’t their intention, but I would love to see the letters turned into a book! Lenka also made the super cute films love and age.

Oh, how I would love to be a recipient of all 467 of those letters. -l.
