Can’t staying in touch with overseas friends sometimes seem ridiculously difficult? It should be so simple, yet striking the balance between regular contact and what we consider meaningful correspondence seems to be an art in itself. But old friends Emma Cowan (a Melbourne-based photographer and designer) and Antonia Pont (poet, artist and current Berlin-dweller) have really turned it into art. Over one of their last pots of tea together before Antonia headed away, they came up with The Post Project. Rather than just sending the usual frantic and fragmented emails, these two slow advocates decided to combine their love of words and images, in a project that they can potter on together between their two cities. The idea is simple: one sends a message – an image, a text, a few lines of poetry – and the other responds, beginning a long slow conversation across the world. Some posts demand spontaneity, others play at patience; all are delightful and inspirational little interludes that remind us of the simple joy of staying in touch.
