maroš krivý

"one of the strategies, how ego strengthens its value, is by exposing itself to value radiating from a monument. displaying itself for a photographic camera, a transient but exclusive relationship is constructed between an ego and a sacred object. 'i am in front of a monument' becomes 'i am a monument'. in the presented work, monuments represented on postcards were covered by mirror mosaiques. in this way, ego no longer needs photographic camera to construct a relationship with a monument. instead, ego can merge into the setting and thus literally become a monument by simply looking at itself." see more here.

daniel bejar

daniel bejar's 'déjà visite (johnson, vt)' is a site specific intervention "where 15 postcards of a bygone johnson were returned back to their original place of origin. purchased on ebay, postcards mailed from johnson in the early 20th century through the 60's were brought back to town. the postcards were then smuggled back into local stores which sold postcards, ultimately the postcards were placed back into the postcard racks among images of a contemporary johnson, completing a journey at times over 100 years long." see more here.
