"This book is a collection of the hate mail that Dutch artist TINKEBELL. has received between 2004-2008. The majority of the messages are a reaction to the ‘My dearest cat Pinkeltje’ (2004) project, which had TINKEBELL making a handbag out of her own cat.
The book is made in close collaboration with Coralie Vogelaar, who researched the origins of the mails. Besides the actual hate mails that TINKEBELL. has received, the book also includes personal information – photos, blogs, addresses – from those who have sent the hate mails. All this information was taken from the web. The majority of the hate mail (approximately 80%) comes from America, other countries include The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Russia, UK and Brazil."
