Postcards for Perec

Bodman, Sarah

Abstract

University of Puget Sound , Collins Memorial Library:
The display (in the Reading Room) showcases the project Postcards for Perec. Georges Perec was a French novelist and filmmaker. Linda Parr coordinated an international project in which artists created postcards to illustrate one of Perec’s text. The idea of this project was to respond to Georges Perec’s 243 imaginary postcard messages by making the missing images, then sending real postcards. There was an enthusiastic worldwide response, catching the imagination of students & professors, artists & writers, Perec scholars, translators, mathematicians and architects.
