The appropriation of the famous letter that Sol LeWitt wrote in 1965 to artist and friend Eva Hesse is at the center of this work. In what seems to be a Skype conversation with a distant friend -wearing a t-shirt printed with LeWitt’s hand drawing as it appears on the manuscript- the letter becomes a two way pep talk in the mouth of an online oracle. The screen which printed the t-shirt, the only exisiting copy of which was sent to the performer, is conserved, clearly stating the day and place it was first exposed to light.
