Greetings from New Orleans by Giuseppe Stampone

‘Greetings from New Orleans’, 23 modules made with bic pens on paper, and the mailing of 10,000 postcards all over the world, constitute a project on time that shifts from the real toward the neodimensional (with the creation of an interactive platform). A time that crosses not only art – its procedure, its becoming, unraveling and reformulation – but also the world of everyday life and its thousands of different meanings. Through packed symbols and metaphors, Stampone evokes the memory of the disaster that swept across new orleans on august 29th, 2005, constructing a discourse on the genius loci and the unpredictable workings of history.
