what has become of the lost pleaid?


Postcard set by tamara suarez porras

what has become of the lost pleiad? is an image-text collection of ten postcards that considers attempts to (re)connect across space and time. In reference to the seventh star of the Pleiades star cluster, which is not visible to the naked eye, this work asks: what has become of those we have loved and lost? What can photographs hold of those once held dear, and what is forever gone? A meditation on photography’s efforts to fix the past, what has become of the lost pleiad? unravels the temporality of relationships as fated and momentary, like the paths and presences of celestial bodies. Each postcard contains a distinct photo-collage assembled from 1970s-era Sky & Telescope magazine paired with a poem, which can be kept together as a set or sent across distance to become an expanded constellation.

A special edition of the publication includes a unique 5x7” collage assembled from Sky & Telescope, enclosed in a screenprinted folio.
