In his Postcards from Nowhere series, Muniz recreates iconic images of popular travel destinations using thousands of carefully arranged postcards, examining the reconstruction of spatial memories through representations of actual locations. The artworks are mosaic-like interpretations that explore the theme of collective memory, nostalgia, and the role of images in shaping our understanding. By using postcards, which are often associated with personal communication and travel, Muniz adds layers of meaning to his reconstructions, blurring the lines between the individual and the collective experience. By presenting familiar subjects through an unconventional medium, he invites viewers to question their assumptions and reconsider the ways in which we perceive and interact with images.
