Taking as a point of departure the worst war-zones worldwide, the artist Paolo W.
Tamburella, offers a compelling new perspective on the origin of today's most critical international issue. The last installation Post-Card is build up around 2 main totems, each 5mt long, 3mt high offering to the viewers more than 180.000 postcards from Iran, Iraq, Somalia and Darfur. People are invited to take one each or more. The interaction with the public, crossing the Railway Station everyday for one month, pushes the meaning of the work into new realms.
Without being violent nor heavy, the artist always finds out what are the weakest spots
of society and hit on them. Like many other works his installations reveal the truth and not stick to convenient or polite lies.
