ARTDOC SUBMISSION

The submitted images are part of a series entitled “Cartes Postales de …” (Postcards from …). I began work on it in 2015 and completed it in 2020 during the pandemic. The images are intended as contemporary postcards sent by anonymous individuals and institutions to the public. They represent diverse views on society and relationships, both intimate and public in nature and reflect the nature of messages sent in contemporary society in the form of posts on social media.

In the contemporary online world, we receive short electronic messages on a wide variety of topics, some of genuine interest to us, others of no interest at all. Sometimes we know the people sending the messages, but more often than not, we have never met them and probably will never know them personally. The messages range in subject matter from the trivial and social to the tragic and intimate.
