Padded envelope containing ink powder and a soft brush
 

A padded envelope containg ink powder, a soft brush and a letter of instruction to the recieving gallery is sent from my occational address in Istanbul. When the envelope reaches the gallery in the US it has probably been touched by more hands than the average mail item due to its suspicious look. The gallery staff opens the envelope and uses its content to detect the fingerprints on it.
