你好葉子，
很高興見到你，非常感謝你把我的書護送到歐洲（看起來真是一次旅行）！

我週一和週二會在Tale of a Tub吃午飯，你可以去嗎？

期待見面、
x

Hi Yezi,

Lovely to meet you and thank you so much for escorting my book to Europe (what a trip it looks like)!

I will be at a Tale of a Tub on Monday and Tuesday until lunch, would that work for you?

Looking forward to meeting,
x

Just in case you’re in town, i’ll be around Oldham until 2 (my film ends at 1.30)

Then I’ll be at Oldham again for the 630pm screening (can’t be there earlier unfortunately) until 745 / 8pm. In case you’re around too.

After that, I’ll either be at Asian Civilizations Museum until 9pm or I go straight to Orchard Cineleisure. But I’ll be at Cineleisure for sure from 10pm onwards so it’s a safe bet to meet there.

I’m getting into costume at 1030 and I won’t be able to type properly lol my phone doesn’t respond to my fingers through the costume and also I can barely see through it. So I apologise in advance if I am typing complete gibberish.

I also won’t be able to see in my costume…….. i can’t see beyond 2 meters in my costume…….

(Also I can’t talk in my costume haha so pardon me if I meet you and only gesticulate)

我還有以下感悟：突然意識到即使在高空一萬米，也逃不掉購物（機長不斷推薦免稅產品）。 新加坡機場很高檔。
在新加坡的機場聽到很多旅客講的是德語，在泰國去的第一家餐廳，旁邊坐著的顧客也是在講德語。真是驗證了「德國人喜歡旅遊」這個說法。一路上講德語的人越來越多！（當然也應該是這樣，畢竟是去德國⋯⋯）
火車今天居然沒有晚點，天氣也不錯。

I also had the following epiphany: I suddenly realised that even at 10,000 metres in the air, you can't escape shopping (the captain kept recommending duty-free products).
Singapore airport is very upscale.
I heard a lot of travelers speaking German at the airport in Singapore, and at the first restaurant I had gone to in Thailand, the customers sitting next to me were also speaking German. It is true that "Germans love to travel". Along the journey, more and more people spoke German! (As it should be—after all, we are going to Germany.)
The train was actually not late today, and the weather was good.

「跟你說一下，在往你的方向走的的包裹裡面加了一本新書，慢遞員住在科隆，所以我們還需要找人接力，之後再更新；希望那本新書可以暫時替代你的訂單目前卻的一本，不好意思在打包的時候沒找到Letters: The classroom is burning, let’s dream about a School of Improper Education！剛搬了新的轉運站，現在還是有點亂；貨我們肯定有的，就是要麻煩你等到下一次再給你慢遞一趟；關於你另外下的LUMBUNG schwag pack，你可能會對剩下的東西不太感興趣（估計大部分你已有的），但這次你成功下載好所有電子版了嗎？ 這套書已經被搶購一空，所以只剩下PDF版本了」

letting you know that there will be a copy of a new book in the dispatch that is on its way to you. the courier lives in Köln, so we will still need to find a relay, but details to follow. that new book will hopefully temporarily pacify you for the misadventure that I wasn't able to find copies of Letters: The classroom is burning, let’s dream about a School of Improper Education when we were packing your order, because everything in the new relay centre is all still quite a mess! Apologies for that, but there are certainly still copies somewhere, so will have to separately dispatch that to you in the future. Regarding the LUMBUNG schwag pack
, what is left from that may not be so interesting for you (guessing you have most of it already), but were you able to get all the digital downloads this time? the books from that pack have already been claimed so only PDFs left.

大家好 -

我們昨天晚上在布魯塞爾去Christiane家找她教授。 貨物現在安全地放在家裡，正津津有味地閱讀著。

感謝你們在此慢遞接力中發揮的作用。我們對這次慢遞非常滿意。

祝好， H + S

Dear all -

We met with Christiane at her place in Brussels last night to finalise the delivery. The goods are now safe at home and being read with much interest.

Thanks all for your role in the courier chain. We’re really happy with this delivery.

Best and yours, H + S

親愛的大家 -

謝謝你們。非常高興一切都那麼順利，包裹也那麼美。我們儘量這週見見Christiane交收好！

祝好，
H

Dears -

Thanks both for the handover. Very happy this all worked out so well, and with such a beautiful packet. We’ll try meet Christiane this week to finalise the delivery!

Best and yours,
H

大家好：）
昨天我把書交給了Christiane，下面是我拍的一些照片。在Christiane舉辦展覽的一家當地畫廊里，我與她和她的朋友們有了一次愉快的會面。有趣的是，我認識的一個人也和Christiane的朋友有某種聯繫，世界真小啊！

祝好，
TONG

Hello all ：）

I have handed over the book to Christiane yesterday and here are some pictures I took. It was a pleasant encounter with Christiane and her friends at a local gallery where she had her exhibition. Interestingly, a guy I know is also somehow connected to Christiane's friends, what a small world!

Best,
TONG

大家好: )

11月4日我都應該在科隆，到城區跟Christiane回合交接沒有問題（她想哪裡都可以，只不要太難找的話，科隆反正也不大）

祝好，
TONG

Hello everyone : )

I should be in Cologne on 04.11. So, it would be no problem for me to just meet Christiane somewhere in the city and give her the books. (anywhere she prefers as long as it's easy to find, Cologne is not big to be honest.)

Best,
TONG

Dears LIGHT LOGISTICS -

It looks like our friend Christiane BLATTMANN (cc’d) will be in Cologne on 04-11 and can bring the books on to Brussels.
What’s the best way to get them to her?

Best,
H

我們終於和DAI DAI見面啦，她星期二帶了書過來我們的辦公室，還給我們一個討論藝術/政治的小組介紹了她的工作和研究。我們還討論了有沒有可能性把你帶到巴黎來。

本書真的好美，我們會留幾本自己看，另外一本給勃艮第的一個非常好的新媒體藝術圖書館，叫espace multimédia Gantner！最後一本就放我們自己la Générale空間的圖書館，這樣居民都能看到：）

再次感謝你派過來啦！

We finally met with DAI DAI, she came this Tuesday to meet us, and came with the books.

The book is really beautiful, we gonna keep a few copies for us, and will give one copy to a super media art library in Bourgogne, called espace multimédia Gantner! and one in our collective library in la Générale, so they can be read by our residents ：）

So thank you very much for sending them.

DAI DAI came to our office, and made a presentation of her work, and research with a small discussion group of art/politics we animate. We discussed about the possibility of finding opportunities to bring you in Paris.

SS收到了C送的禮物和卡片，很開心地吃完了好吃的紫薯芋泥餅，才想到這應該是送給展銷場所有同事的，有點兒不好意思……「世界繫於友愛」的寄語很感人。

一起坐下聊天。雖是初次見面，但彼此相處很自然，收件人C給予了慢遞員S充分的信任，分享了她在高中時撞到「徐州鐵鍊女」事件新聞時的感受、思考和行動。這讓S瞬間閃回到34年前那個春夏之交，18歲迷惘小鎮青年的他在電視上看到那場殘酷慘烈運動的新聞時的心境。相近的年齡和相似的經歷，很多的感同身受……彷彿一個魔法被實施，34年前被小心地封裝、深埋進心底的衝擊、質疑、追問、苦痛、顫慄和孤獨，在今天，這個特別的時刻，得到了懸置已久的回應。

回程進地鐵站的時候看見這位跟C近乎同齡的女孩，後背上的字是「Dead Inside」，她一邊在玩手游一邊在笑，走路、等地鐵、乘車、下車都沒停過片刻，完全沈浸在自己封閉的世界里，彷彿周圍是無人之境。C跟我聊到的、她選擇的，是與之相反的方向吧：對周圍的人懷抱悲憫之心，時刻向周圍的環境展開觸角，並努力付諸改善的行動。

I receive a little card and gift of purple taro cakes from C. He happily finishes them before realising that maybe they were intended to share with other Display Distribute colleagues, and he is a bit embarrassed...... The very touching message on the card reads: "The world is bound by friendship".

We sat down and chatted together. Although it was the first time we met, we got along naturally. RECEIVER C, gave full trust to me, courier SS, sharing her feelings, thoughts, and actions about her time in high school and being shocked by the news about the "Xuzhou Chained Woman" incident. This instantly brought SS back 34 years, when he was 18 and had seen one brutal and tragic news incident on TV. It was at the cusp of spring and summer, and he was a lost young man then, of similar age and experience to C before him now. So much empathy... It was as if something magical was triggered, and carefully sealed incidents of 34 years ago—wounds buried deep in his heart, doubt, questions, pain, trembling, and loneliness—were today, after hanging in suspense for so long, finally heard.

On the way back to the metro station, I saw a girl of almost the same age as C wearing a shirt with the words "Dead Inside" on her back; she was smiling while playing games on her phone, walking around while waiting for the train. She boards the car, and later gets off at her stop without a pause, completely immersed in her own closed world as if there were no one else around her. What C and I had talked about earlier, and what she chooses to do, are completely the opposite: to have heart and compassion towards the people around her, and to always look at her surroundings. She is always reaching out around her, trying to make things better.

[reinaart vanhoe:] s dit de blauwe versie?

Hello!

Of course we can make an appointment for WREN’s visit to TBS.
My work day is 15th (Friday) but 16, 18 are also fine.
If you visit on the 19th or 20th, LIM will be there.
Our opening hour is 1-7pm, but if you need I can open the store earlier.

Just let me know when is a good time for you.

Best regards,
Kyusun SHIM

Thank you all so much for this little psychogeographic journey and family networking together! I updated the link for your route so it will show up prominently at the top of our log, haha: HQL-507

And yes, as Florian mentioned, we feature some fun routes on IG from time to time, those updates usually even slower than our couriering, but well...you know efficiency is not our forté!

Hope Billy and Neil can find a not too inconvenient middle ground to meet up for a handover, and thank you all again for your support of semi-autonomous publishing! warmest regards from Hong Kong

Hello Tomi et al,

It's very exciting that our package is making its way down to NC! Thank you for this.

Please send me an email or a text/Signal message (804-XXX-XXXX) when you'd like to connect. I live in Hillsborough, which is northwest of Raleigh and not quite on the way from Raleigh to Denton; maybe we can meet up somewhere in between? Just let me know.

The package is now in the US and shortly on its way down to NC

First photo of me handing the package to my mother in Haarlem at the end of her Netherlands vacation, on her way to Schipol airport.
Second photo is a selfie of my brother receiving the package from my mother on W 79th St NYC.

My brother will be driving back to Denton NC via surroundings of Raleigh in the coming week or two I believe. I can put you two in touch, he is cc’d in this email.

Hi Hera, I sent 10 copies to Changdong today. I think Helen will arrange a meeting between you and HC-h (I'm sorry she's so busy), but I think you can give him three copies, and I'd appreciate it if you could give one to HJ. I understand you're going to Hong Kong in June, so please keep others for Display Distribute.

And of course I'd love to see the book sold at Display Distribute. I think HERA can take some copies to Hong Kong in June!

I'm so happy and proud that this book is traveling with your help. Thank you again!

LIM

Dear,

Finally I was able to get my copies thanks to X-O coming all the way from Oslo to Athens for a few days. She leaves tomorrow for an island and I back to Berlin.

There is no URL to The Black Cat who has been shunning the internet (and social media) until now. With that said we are working on launching a digital project detailing the space with the help of a few friends. It might take a year or so before it's on the web. Will send you a link when it's ready.

Many thanks to anyone involved in this adventure, to finally being able to read about the fascinating Tsuji Jun was worth all the wait.

Until next time!

M

Hello, I confirm that X-O was able to pick up the package at her arrival to work. She will kindly bring it to me when she travels back home to Athens later this month. One of the copies will be left at The Black Cat (Omavros Gatos) anarcho-dadaist book store on Ippokratous Str. 125.

A big thank you(!) to the entire Display Distribute team and to GABRIELE for his time and flexibility. May there be more of such initiatives in Europe and elsewhere.

Will update with a picture when the books arrive at The Black Cat.

Best,
RECEIVER

大家好，我叫mazi！很抱歉，因為我設置了消息免打擾555，所以沒能及時回復你。我現在在漢陽大學上暑期班^ ^很高興見到你們～ 也許我們下週末可以見面，因為我這周有幾件事情需要處理。😀 其實我週一到週四上午和下午都有課，直到16:00我才結束這兩門課。順便說一下，我在週五到週六沒有課 ^_^

Hi, my name is mazi, sorry to reply you that time, since I have muted the message notifications. I am now having my summer school in Hanyang University ^ ^ Nice to see u guys～ Maybe we can get meet next weekend, since I have several affairs need to tackle this week.😀 OK, I actually have classes on Monday to Thursday morning and afternoon until 16:00 I ended both classes. By the way, I have no classes from Friday to Saturday ^_^

對了我帶回來的書可不可以快遞給收件人呀？其實我很有可能8月初回一下老家，如果他不著急，或許我也可以當面給他；新野是我出生的那個縣城的名字；那個目的地「南陽」是個地級市，下屬有十三個縣，其中一個就是新野 😁；我是上高中的時候，全家從新野縣搬家到南陽市的

如果我能當面見到收件人，沒准兒也可以寫個「見面手記」之類的？我其實很意外居然有個南陽的人找到展銷場呢。可能老家在我的印象里非常刻板印象的「落後」吧 😂；我爸媽帶著弟弟回老家了，我應該會8月初回去一趟先接弟弟回上海；這次慢遞也是一次重新認識老家的機會呢！好期待見到收件人

Oh yes, can i use a courier service to send the books I've brought back? Actually I might go back to my hometown in the beginning of August, so if the receiver is not in a hurry, maybe I can meet them in person; Xinye is the name of the township where I was born; the final receiving destination Nanyang is a lower ranking city, composed of thirteen towns, one of which is Xinye 😁; my family moved to Nanyang when I was in high school

If I can meet the receiver in person, maybe I can write a encounter notation to document, something like that? I'm actually very surprised that there would be a Nanyang person who found out about Display Distribute; maybe it's because Nanyang is based upon my upbringing a fairly "backwards" place 😂; my parents brought my little brother back to our hometown, so in August will probably go back to pick up my brother and bring him back to Shanghai; this slow-courier experience is a way for me to newly experience my hometown, really looking forward to meet the receiver

你好你好，感謝您的郵件和短信！希望您度過了一個陽光明媚的週末。我在大潭灣游泳，那裡很美！

聽你在考慮代銷迪拜出版社的書，非常興奮！很高興能幫您把書慢遞回來。我將於8月13日至23日在迪拜，之後回香港，回程時應該有5公斤左右的空間。

如果你希望我把東西從倫敦帶過來，我在倫敦的日期是7月24日至8月12日。

敬請期待！

Hello, hello, I hope you had a lovely sunny weekend. I swam in Tai Tam Bay and it was beautiful!

Very exciting to hear that you may be carrying books from a Dubai publisher! I would be delighted to help courier them back. I will be in Dubai from 13 - 23 Aug, after which I will be leaving for Hong Kong. I should have ~5kg of space on the return trip.

If you’d like me to bring things from London my dates there are 24 July - 12 Aug. I wont have as much space on this leg, maybe a couple of kilos?

Looking forward!

A
