Cities Under Quarantine: The Mailbox Project

Berlin, DE
2021

About the work, I have few words. It is a collection of imprints that I took from several countries where I traveled before the pandemic. Producing this artist book was like digging into an intimate visual journal. The views of each city can be understood as macro shots because of the very technique of taking imprints with wax on paper.

 

And like a journal or diary, each city, each wall, each trace tells a story, a situation, a magic moment that was crystalized in the imprint.
