Vik Muniz’s series Postcards from Nowhere grapples with how, through photographs, we have come to “see” and understand distant yet iconic sites we may never actually view with our own eyes. “The images we hold in our heads are an assemblage,” notes Muniz. “They are an amalgam of every image of those locations that we have ever seen.” Muniz’s images—created out of collaged pieces of vintage postcards from the artist’s personal collection—materialize the experience and longing of travel, triangulating between the traveler, a distant location, and the recipient who, increasingly, remains at home.
This image appears in Postcards from Nowhere, published by Aperture in 2020.
