To do this, they filled the garden with 1,000 white envelopes containing poems written especially for the occasion by the poets who participated in the festival. The lit envelopes remained hanging in the garden for 3 days, serving as intimate illumination for the poetic festival. The last night, with light still in the interior, they were offered to the public as keepsakes, or better yet, for them to address to a loved one, to whom we would send the envelope.
With this intervention they wanted to look a little towards the past, in a nostalgic way and remember times in which important words travelled in envelopes. They also wanted each person that read the poetic message, to think of an important person to whom they would like it to arrive. They collected about 100 envelopes with addresses to send to their recipients. Knowing that the letters arrived still illuminated filled was a joy.
Thanks to the poets, Ajo, Peru Saizprez, Mayra Oyuela, Javier de la Rosa, Javier Nadie, La Más Bella, Raúl Zurita, Julián Herbert, Reynaldo Jiménez, Emila Persola, Héctor Avellán, Linda Wong, Eduardo Scala, Pep Gómez, Maria Eloy-García, Josep Pedrals, Gabriel Vallecillo, for creating a work of art for us to illuminate.
