POSTCARDS FROM THE FUTURE

Postcards from the Future
Postcards from the Future makes use of postcards to immortalize daily urban scenes. These scenes are staged twice, with the help of hired extras. The first time, a daily life scene is simulated in order to take a picture of it which is later edited as a postcard. The postcard, printed and massively distributed throughout the city, functions as an invitation to a particular date and at a particular time, at the very same location where the picture has been taken. At the time indicated on the postcard, the second staging takes place. The exact same extras, with the exact same clothes reproduce the exact same scene, but this time without any picture being taken. Instead, they re-enact the situation which had produced the moment of the picture, and which, potentially, should contain that very same instant again.

Capturing the daily life of the city, a Postcards from the Future, does not intend to keep these elapsed situations as souvenirs, but transform their banality into the score of an expected performance. Going to the address indicated at exactly the indicated time makes you the privileged spectator of what each postcard is prophesying.

For the future Pompidou Center in Metz, C&H has realized three different postcards offering three different perspectives on the exact same location. All point towards the one exact same instant, 14h47 on saturday 16 May 2009.

Do you remember the days when each track had its own dedicated, direct access button? (Pioneer PD-S602)
I love it.

Hey Apple! We need a physical interface! I want to press and feel buttons! The iPhone totally destroyed the interface culture!
