Venezia (all places contain all others) by Aleksandra Mir, 2011. Courtesy of the artist.
Aleksandra Mir, artista polacca, ha creato questo carosello copia-e-incolla "semiserio" di cartoline Veneziane, mescolando paesaggi stupendi con grafiche "zuccherose" kitsch, una meditazione sulla relazione anomala che ha la città con la pubblicità . un posto senza pubblicità che pubblicizza solo se stesso.

Aleksandra Mir, artist from Poland, creates a cut-and-paste carousel of tongue-in-cheek Venetian postcards, combining gorgeous landscapes with candy-coloured kitsch in a mediation on the city’s anomalous relationship with advertising - a place without adverts that advertises only itself.
