The exhibition collates letters containing photography or drawings (examples of mail art, also known as postal art), which have been created and sent to Strenči by correspondents from Latvia, Estonia, Poland, France, Belgium, Greece, Portugal and the USA.

In spring of this year, responding to an invitation from the Strenči Photography Workshop, the Belgian photographer and mail art enthusiast Thomas Vandenberghe began a visual conversation with artists from Latvia. Meeting in Strenči, the participants in the correspondence – mostly photographers – experimented with different photographic techniques and prepared their own personal messages. After leaving Strenči, the correspondence continued, with more and more participants joining in. To express it in the language of photographers, they all use in their work one and the same root substance – light – and are equidistant from the sun. This exhibition is the result of that three-month-long exchange of letters.
