Postcards from the Edge


Piero Golia
2005

Golia disappeared for three weeks -- he left New York and turned up in Copenhagen without leaving a trace in between.

The human need for solitude is inferred by Golia's stint, but even better, his obscurity is a dare to abandon conventions and concretize chance.
