2014 | Postcards: Trampoline House, Copenhagen

Dear Helle, Postcards and pins assembled on wall museum, 2014

Postcards collected from restaurants, friends, and family were given to refugees, who wrote to then–Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt. A fragile social archive, later dismantled.

In 2014, I developed a participatory installation at Trampoline House, a community space for refugees and asylum seekers in Copenhagen. Postcards collected from restaurants, friends, and family were given to refugees, who used them to write messages to then–Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt. The postcards, pinned across the exhibition space, became a temporary social archive of voices in flux — direct, fragile, and deeply personal. After three months, the work was dismantled, leaving no physical trace except the memory of collective authorship. This project highlighted impermanence and participation as essential qualities of my practice: the work is never complete without the voices of others.
