About Me

The Tragic Threshold is an ongoing project with the purpose of rekindling individual correspondence through the mail.

This website exists to document art and letters that are sent through the post and maintain a public forum where they can be viewed. If you receive a letter or package from the Tragic Threshold, we encourage you to continue the chain of communication by either:

  1. Responding to us at: The Tragic Threshold PO BOX 9041 Berkeley, CA 94709 USA

  2. Or sending your own piece of mail to another party and submitting the images to us at [email protected] (please photograph both the front and back of your mail). If you would like your mail to be documented, and those whom you write to to be able to see our progress, please list our website: www.tragicthreshold.tumblr.com somewhere on your mail as a reference point.

We will be posting smaller project ideas during the coming months as well as open calls for specific submissions-so keep checking in with us!

Thank you, The Tragic Threshold

*Note: We also encourage pseudonyms and anonymous mail senders. There is no need to include a real name or any name at all.

Comment: Thank you - great quote - Be,Do,Have. I've been to your website and seen my PC posted there. Just a question though, why the sticker over his face? Does it mean something?
