The link between memory, location, and time is a common theme in Marina Paris's work. In this print, a handwritten inscription and date are superimposed on an antique postcard that shows a coastal landscape. A sense of nostalgia and a yearning for a more carefree era are evoked by the faded image of people having a good time at the beach. A personal and moving touch is added by the handwritten inscription, "Un ricordo e un democratico saluto" (A recollection and a democratic greeting), which implies that the postcard has deep personal significance for the creator or its original owner. The year 1954 further grounds the picture in a certain historical period. By combining these components, Paris challenges the audience to think about how pictures may be both intimate and collective.
