#40 - Postcard Puzzle #4 (All Around You, 2024) by Mitsuru Koga
$500.00
Description:
Vintage postcards collected by Mitsuru Koga throughout his travels have been turned into puzzles.
These postcards depict landmarks and scenes from the past that have been changed or altered through time and may not exist anymore in the same capacity.
He likens this collection of vintage postcards to fragments of a puzzle depicting landscapes from history that don't hold the same shape. He then turns each of these individual postcards into a puzzle of its own by meticulously cutting pieces out of the postcard and then rearranging them into a new and nearly unrecognizable scene; leaving small fragments of the past of the original.
Measurements:
11" x 8.75" x 1.5"
History:
Based in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan, Mitsuru Koga (b. 1980) has the ability to breathe life into seemingly mundane materials, transforming them into works of art. Koga’s artistic process reflects his commitment to exploring the delicate relationship between objects, nature, and humanity.
