2008–2012
A series of small-format works on paper. Anna Adell read it as “placeless places”: floating fragments, messages in bottles that bob about on the waves without any hope of reaching safe port.

Postcards (from Eternity) is a series of small-format works on paper, made between 2008 and 2012 and currently on hold.
In her 2014 essay, Anna Adell places the series between utopia and heterotopia, drawing on Foucault’s notion of the “placeless place”:
And Postcards from Eternity evokes “placeless places”, like floating fragments or messages in bottles that bob about on the waves without any hope of reaching safe port.
