CORRESPONDENCES
transparent plexiglass panel with vintage postcards inside with video
At this point in life, we lost the habit to give our imagination a substantial, physical form, but what is a postcard if not a mental projection of a subject towards another, dressed up as a paper action?
Nowadays, leaving a written document to its material deterioration tastes like a defeat, since new rules force us to be unpredictable and liquid. On the contrary, all my relatives used to keep in touch with postcards when they spent their holidays at the lake. The installation is made up of the entire collection of family correspondence, transformed into a projection screen, where new changes of position are monitored via Google Maps. Under it, a nice green field where to take a break, once again.
