This piece by Antonakos is not just a package; it’s a psychological puzzle and a distinctive part of his Mail art. The artist invited senders to think and imagine what’s inside the package and what would happen to it upon arrival. Although Antonakos never opened the packages, he displayed them as received, leaving the senders in a state of curiosity and suspense.

This blend of art and interaction with the sender creates a piece that transcends the object itself. Each sender, each package, holds its own story.
