Altered and Recombined Vintage Photo-Postcards, by C. Kunstadt
Prior to email, texting, Instagram and Twitter, the postcard was an economical and relatively immediate means of connecting and communicating. The innate impulse to share one's experience found expression in the iconic photo-postcards of the 1900's, the Golden Age of printed postcards. For one cent, notification of a delay in plans, sharing an inspirational view or a destination safely reached could be easily and quickly communicated.
Altering the images by weaving multiple views together, the pixelated scenes become intriguing alternate visions of a reality suspended from their original context. The aged quality of the photograph informs and enhances the varied combinations creating simultaneous vantage points. They playfully represent the merging of a vision of history, the moments caught and the subjective impressions which through the passage of time have been transformed.
