The long-term intervention was initiated by Aleksandra Gruden and Saba Skaberne, exploiting the features of the Maribor city walls: everything from their symbolic to their physical value. On the 50 cm high remains of the once 6-meter wall, we will notice a set of mailboxes made of transparent plexiglass. This creates a space where we can leave our messages in the form of ideas, thoughts, photographs, useless objects, advertisements and other symbolic elements that reflect our experiences and thoughts. At the end of the year, the authors will set up an exhibition of the objects, perhaps more like a collage of the city, people, pressing issues, feelings, aesthetic glimpses, ..., everything that makes the city colorful. By placing the collectors on the walls, it will once again be given the purpose it had centuries ago - protecting the city, this time in a completely different way. The wall, with its many elements such as isolation, interrupted communication, division into outside and inside, restriction of movement and separation, somehow cancels the negative intervention of the wall into space with its collectors, while still protecting the city, as it offers residents inside and outside the city the opportunity to express their experience of the environment, even if it is through shouting or ignorance.
