I selected a number of spam emails from my own mailbox for The Letters project. I invited people who fit the sender descriptions to read the letters beside a desk and a globe in a green backdrop. The reading-turned-monologue forms a theatre of the fraud, in which these email senders are visualized into real characters. There is a dying Kuwaiti widow, one of Libyan prime minister’s sons who desperately needs rescue, an Asian woman with a British accent, an Irish salesperson under an assumed name, and an African banker who invites people to commit international financial crimes with him. Audience are encouraged to imagine other parts of the world that these letters represent, as well as the connections among people’s appearances, accents and political realities.
