The postcards are made from photographs I took while visiting different cities in the USA in October 2018. Postcards are a conventional photographic means of communication for tourists and creating these cards highlighted my status as a tourist in my country of origin. The subject matter of the postcards is the places and things that caught my eye as I walked. The use of the display carousel, most commonly used in retail venues, is a reminder that art is a commodity and galleries are places where money is exchanged.
