places to see before you die
March 9th, 2009
Places to see before you die is a set of 8 postcards referring to popular tourist destinations and landmarks. Instead of the usual postcards of the real places, you get text conveying the distractions felt by a fictional visitor.
The artist further explains the concept behind the postcards:
Collecting postcards of iconic locations is almost like ‘collecting’ the locations themselves, ticking them off a list of places one should visit. Yet when visiting landmarks it’s easy to be distracted by concerns from one’s own life thus feeling like you’re not able to achieve the right level of reverence or appreciation for the site.
