Postcard Stories

He would always stroll
past the concrete wall
wearing a red shirt
as if on holiday.

The Floral Clocks (Richard von Sturmer and Gabriel White) present Postcard Stories – a unique performance celebrating the humble postcard, by projecting a series of wonderfully intriguing postcards on stage, accompanied by songs, poems and stories.

The Floral Clocks comprises artist, poet & film-maker Richard von Sturmer and performer, writer & film-maker Gabriel White.

Gabriel White has concentrated for the past decade on exploring and remapping landscapes. He has a particular interest in working with verbal material in the form of oral histories such Stories of Tāmaki (2010) and The Unplanned Masterpiece (2009), or in more playful and poetic works like The World Blank series (2001-2010).

Richard von Sturmer began his career at the front of punk/art band The Plague, before continuing with The Humanimals, and wrote the lyrics for Blam Blam Blam’s iconic anti-Muldoon anthem ‘There Is No Depression In New Zealand’.
