REMEMBER ITALY

​

The tourism industry uses souvenirs as commemorative merchandise associated with a location.The gift shops are overloaded with cheap, low-quality items that not only encourages tourists to buy more, but also affect the entire cultural landscape of that specific place. 

 

Remember Italy is part of a bigger photographic on-going project documenting the souvenir shops in the most visited Western European countries. 

​

Project published in Visual Catalysts book and exhibited in Kultturitalo Laikku, Tampere, Finland as interactive installation. All postcards are organic and everyone can take one home.
