From the artist: "The whole story is a fiction. I have fabricated a collection of postcards, attributing the imagery to a fictional character, Anne-Marie Merryman. Her granddaughter Anne Sophie Merryman presents the work to the public, as a set of postcards that she inherited in a wooden box. People looking at the postcards might realise they are fake through a set of hints, placed in the postcards themselves; and, at the end of the book, there is a hidden message. I created the postcards using my own photographs, and mixing different materials from postcards that I collected--so the texts on the back of the postcards are real messages in authentic handwriting... I often mix up the messages and the stamps, intentionally." "Some people think Anne Sophie is my pseudonym; but it''s not--she plays an important role, as a character in the story and a presenter of the work. Anne Sophie and Anne-Marie came into my mind as I considered the relationship between author and audience, and between photography and authorship. I am interested in photography because it''s a medium with a particular relationship to reality. In photography, we always cut-out a scene--elements or fragments from reality; and photographs have a very particular effect as they play with veracity. They can be used as evidence, but at the same time, they can be used as a persuasive tool. The author of the photographs and/or the author who relates the narrative around the photographs (sometimes they are the same person, sometimes separated) often has a very dominant presence--influencing their audience." "I wanted the audience to look at these images without the presence of an author, so I decided to remove myself from the work, and to make it anonymous. The work is presented as found postcards, each created by various anonymous authors."
