Letter / Art / Project "TODOKU" is an art project which connects “me (here and now)” and “you (not here and now)” through diverse forms of indirect exchanges such as letters, postcards, or video letters. It started in 2020, and the 3 artists active in the field of contemporary art have explored many ways of communication while working together with people from different backgrounds. The “TODOKU” exhibition is the special exhibition to summarize this 3-year project. Let us show you the moment of encounter in which each individual’s thought, which is art, arrives at each other beyond time, distance, and each circumstance.
