Help! I have a desperate problem: Agony Aunt Letterbox

Part Three of my degree show project, Help! I have a desperate problem. I decided to build an interactive installation.
Viewers and passersby were prompted to take a pre-stamped and addressed envelope from the letterbox's shelf, containing an actual Agony Aunt question from either 20th Century Ireland or the contemporary. They were then prompted to respond to the question with advice as they saw fit. In an attempt to compare answers and attitudes,all answers were scanned in and
uploaded to a Tumblr, where visitors can also view the accompanying film and read the accompanying books.
