Patrick Timm was guest artist in a camp for refugees in Berlin, and set up a post office there. During his residency, which took place in 2022, the artist put down his smartphone and wrote only postcards. Through the subsequent incoming mail a remarkable collection of written correspondence forms was built. In the end, he slipped into the role of the postman and personally delivered a letter from a refugee to his parents in Southern Iran. 

philomena+ invited Patrick Timm to present the Poststelle collection as part of philomena+’s contribution to the exhibition Ãœber das Neue Wiener Szenen und darüber hinaus at Belvedere 21.
