Result of a work commissioned to Gea Casolaro by the CNA Centre National de l'Audiovisuel of Luxembourg, this exhibition is part of a composite project, entitled Observatoire photographique, about the photographic missions in the Country.The curator of the project, Marguy Conzémius, asked the artist to analyse the image of Luxembourg through the existent postcards and make thirty new images, some of which were produced in postcard, that was possible to send from the show to abroad destinations.
Gea Casolaro also launches a call to the public to send postcards from every country in the world that did echo with the images she shot in Luxembourg: postcards received gradually became part of the exhibition for the six months of its duration.
Collection: CNA Centre national de l’audiovisuel, Dudelange, Luxembourg.
