1500 pieces of paradise landscape to assemble.

An unglamorous and rather solitary pastime, the puzzle is a game based on the objective of constructing a picture in a unique way. If the image is pleasing, it is then glued to a cardboard box and hung on the wall like a poster. Without moving.
Postcards, by contrast, are meant to travel. They are promotional items and travel around the world.
The series SEND ME SOME PARADISE adds new variables to these two dissimilar movements, modifying the representation of leisure and holidays initially proposed by the puzzle and the postcards.
The tropical beach, a cliché image obtained from the puzzle, is divided and superposed on the postcards that are multiplied. The surface of the puzzle expands, but once it is broken up, the image cannot be reassembled and eventually disappears. The postcards are no longer travelling, but their images are distorted, metamorphosed with the pieces of beach paradises and palm trees.The paradise finally fades away and returns to a dream state.
