A network of mail artists, contemporary artists and non-artists in Australia, South Africa, Botswana, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and New Zealand receive a photocopy, make two copies, send one to Fremantle Western Australia and one to the next person on a list ordered by longitude. In this way the image of the Shy Albatross will dissolve as it is repeatedly copied around the world. As the image decays a network is made and the imprint of a bird that migrates around the earth reminding us of the borderless nature of the Southern Ocean.
