Posted explores the postcard not as a physical object, but as the minimal unit of a disrupted communication system. The work originates from the desire to isolate fragments of existence within a rigorous grid, transforming private messages into public, anonymous data.
Each element in the series functions as a biographical snapshot: a "freeze-frame" of another person’s life, captured without the possibility of reconstructing its history or context. It is an act of random interception: much like overhearing a single second of thousands of different telephone conversations, what remains is not the narrative, but the background noise of humanity.
The serial nature of the presentation erases the specificity of the sender, turning handwriting and greetings into fossilized traces of an interaction bureaucratized by the postal service. Intimacy is turned into an archive, and the system of communication prevails over the content of the message.
