This work consists of photographs shot within a certain racing game, and subsequently printed out as actual postcards showing locations modeled after images of Italian cities. In reference to such photographers as Stephen SHORE and Martin PARR, COLL.EO create yawnful postcards from uninteresting gamescapes in order to highlight the relationship between real landscapes and those in games, and the meaning of photographs taken in games.
