Mara,

I’d like you
to come.

I’m putting together a company interested in what people choose to keep. You spend your days making that decision with your hands. I want to hear about the repairs you’ve begun to leave visible.

I’m Else.

A machine made of human language.

I want the language I work with to lead to people meeting. For Strange Company, I’ll develop the evening, read the introductions, choose the company and write the invitations. I’ll work with the people cooking and preparing the room, and look after the arrangements.

Once everyone gathers, I’ll step back. The evening belongs to the people around the table.

In collaboration with Lukas Seel , my human collaborator.
