Postcards from Nowhere
New York City, USA: Aperture, 2020
34 pp., 25 x 30 cm., hardcover
Edition of 500 numbered copies
A two-volume set that documents Muniz' series of postcard collages, including such staples as the Great Wall of China, the Eiffel Tower, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Taj Mahal.
Volume I presents thirty-two single postcards photographed by the artist in a way that illuminates the overlapping of small parts in his intricate collages. Volume II presents a series of thirty-six postcards that can be assembled into a single, large-scale work of 30 x 40 inches.
Quickly escalating in price, but still available from the publisher for $250 US, here.
“The images we hold in our heads are an assemblage. They are an amalgam of every image of those locations that we have ever seen.”
- Vik Muniz
