‘téléportissimo’ is a project conceptualized by french designer mathieu lehanneur for la poste.
the idea behind ‘téléportissimo’ is to imagine the french poste as a magician that can teleport your objects.
drop the object in a box and voilà! the object is gone – teleported. la poste takes care of the collection,
wrapping and expedition. the dropped object is delivered instantly, a few or hundreds of kilometres away.
‘téléportissimo’ is a country-wide magic trick.

‘téléportissimo’ was on show at the saint-étienne biennale 2010, whose theme this year was teleportation.
the biennale offered paths of discovery revolving around issues of teleportation,
branching off towards futurology, space perceptional, ambivalent light, mobility, memory, fetishism,
life after death, reality and impossibility.
