Adrianna Wallis

Adrianna Wallis wondered about the fate of lost letters, those that could not reach their addressee or be returned to the sender. This led her to the Libourne mail processing centre, where employees open lost letters in search of clues. It is in these lost letters, these bottles in the sea, that the artist immersed herself: letters of love, friendship, family stories, inner turmoil, hopes and questions... And she decided that, whoever the recipient, these crumpled pieces of life where the intimate and the universal meet, should be heard. Since 2017, she has obtained from the Post Office that it does not destroy these letters and sends them to her. At a rate of one box every three months, she has collected around 20,000 letters.

A real reading marathon, a dozen volunteers - the readers - will take turns for 12 hours to read all the letters contained in a box.
