            The footage is of one of the encounters I had with some fellow inhabitants somewhere in a public space in Amsterdam. Although this meeting was a 1-2-1 performance encounter, for the sake of sharing this with you, I documented this meeting into different kinds of footage. There is audio, video, written letters, envelops, hand-made stamps and me in the role of the letterbeareress, delivering an envelope at the house of my guest.
