Man Scolding Elephant　by Woody Germano (1999)

Printed on thick rice paper, this handsome volume has become a sort of cult classic. Like all of Germano's work, Man Scolding Elephant is a mysterious adventure in postcards. All bought from the same elderly couple, the images create a narrative that touches on history, personal relationships and travel. In addition to the words and images, Germano highlights cuts, tears, glue marks and postal stamps, giving the cards an intimate physicality. "Each image brings you closer to a secret. Eventually, Germano's album gets the viewer to consider how their own life might someday look as a fragmented postcard album." - Yuri MacSweeney
