Dictaphone Parcel is an animation based on a sound recorded with a dictaphone travelling secretly inside a parcel. As the hidden recorder travels through the global mail system, from London to Helsinki, it captures the unexpected. We hear a mixture of abstract sounds, various types of transport and even discussions between the mail workers. The animation visualizes this journey by creating an imaginary documentary.

This reminds me (much too much) of artist Janek Schaefer's sending a recorder by mail in 1995(!), a project called 'Recorded Delivery', which was exhibited and combined with film for the dvd 'Short Stories'. So sorry.
