Der Greif x Various Others - Bilder Auf Reisen / Pictures on a Journey

Bilder auf Reisen / Pictures on a Journey is a curated postcard project by Der Greif, inviting global artists to explore "Strange Homeland" and "Encounters." During Various Others (May 8–11) in Munich, part of Hotel Bayerischer Hof will become an interactive installation. A "Post-Officer" will help visitors choose postcards, write messages, and send them worldwide, reviving Mail Art. Each card pairs with poetic texts, linking image and word.
