Jonathan Monk’s both ‘My Height in Blue Ballpoint Pen’ (2003) and ‘My Height in Yellow Highlighter Pen’ (2010) fused the portable character of a postcard with the practice of marking one’s changing height on a wall. The postcards should be installed on any wall with the pen line 178 cm above the floor.
