The Dove Post
Some words are worth waiting.
Concept
The Dove Post is a simulative post office providing postal service to the audience. It gives an isolating space for the audience to send & receive a message from each other, and the participants need to wait until their partner bring the letter back to the booth.
The project was inspired by the messenger pigeons which people in the past use to communicate with each other and send signaling. Because messenger pigeons only work in one direction, they always fly home no matter how far away they go. The Dove Post promises the participants that no matter how long it’s been, the letter they send from here will finally back to them.
In an era that information flies back and forth rapidly, The Dove Post believes, some words are worth waiting.
