Human memory is quite fragile; many experiments proved that it is possible to construct memories about things that have never happened, or places never visited. Postcards from Imaginary Places are about that fragility. Photographic images are showing seen but not quite familiar places, places one cannot really prove to have a real memory about.

Ten people – artists’ friends, received a photograph of a possibly familiar but not quite recognizable place. They were asked to write a personal postcard from that place and post it back to the artist.
