BIRTH
- A MAIL ART PROJECT TO FREDERIK
BJØRN GROBEN NIELSEN
When Gorm Spaabæks son Frederik was born in 1994 he forwarded by regular postal
service an envelope with a contact print of a series of photos of
the birth process to artists from all over the globe and asked them
for their
contribution and reinterpretation. Text written on the photo contact sheet:
Time of Birth: 17/2-94 at
2.59 a.m. ADD TO, COPY, PASS ON. BIRTH - BIRTH.
While not all
responded, still a total of 45 artists from 15 countries forwarded
their contributions to the project. All contributions are included
in the movie below. They can also be viewed individually and in more
detail by selecting the individual artist. |
