PLEASE SEND ME A POSTCARD – the exhibition
Calender week 44 by Axel Claussen
For townspeople nature stopped being a counterpart a while ago, yet we are longing for its beauty. When we are on holidays, we send postcards with panoramic views or the shore. The postcard: a handy format combining functionaltity with purpose. This is where I've been, this is how it looked like.
Over one year, six metropolitans captured their environment with a camera. Every week they took a photo in the size of a postcard. Every week they sent these pictures to each other. The photographers are Jana Ulrich, Sven Ulrich and Stefan Kornatz from Berlin, Axel Claussen from Itzehoe and Jan Sebening and Daniel Sponsel from Munich.
