I Wish to Say
The Birthday Project, timed to coincide with President Bush's 60th birthday, presents an uncensored glance at American public opinion on presidential politics. In what can be described as a public performance project, artist Sheryl Oring traveled to eight locations in the United States and invited strangers to share their thoughts with the President and with her. Dressed in vintage clothing, Oring typed the messages as dictated to her verbatim on her manual typewriter, sending the original to the White House and keeping a carbon copy for her archive. While Oring typed the postcards, photographer Dhanraj Emanuel took portraits of each person, which are featured in this book.
