In the last few years the universe became the subject of increasing attention not only by the physics community but also by the general public.
The passion for the cosmos is not confined anymore into academic studies. Discoveries are backed up by enormous amounts of data, images are available online in high resolution for people to explore, fantasize and wonder. The expanding universe, its theories and its implications opened up to the mainstream, not only as the new frontier but as a sort of new 'commodity'.
A universe that has become a commodity before even having a complete picture of what we are consuming exactly.
The title Postcards From Space refers to the cosmos being the last frontier both for scientific exploration - in terms of physics discoveries - and the new commodity for human exploration - in terms of expeditions and leisure - uniting the human strive for knowledge and quest of the unknown with the future of civil space exploration.
The work is about the never-ending clash between reality and its representation (in human history, in science, in the universe) and the constant necessity of connecting known and unknow, individual elements to the bigger picture, refreshing the image we have of what surrounds us, updating what we know and leaving space to elaborate what we don't know yet.
