Failed postcard from Napoli, the book
He brought out a garden hose and stuck it in a bucket with some wood and wire then turned it on. Water ejaculated from the centre of the miserable monument and I almost orgasmed at how beautifully wretched the whole set-up was.
I saw a thousand bars spread out before me, my mind hitting the slot machine jackpot with spritz symbols flashing over and over.
Earthquakes have disturbed my wine-soaked dreams.
The dilapidation makes me feel at home.
The hood of my car started to vomit smoke. The sun is finally shining, but I’m stranded in the middle of nowhere.
“Failed Postcards from Napoli consists of photographs taken during a residency at the Spot Home Gallery in Naples in March and June 2025.
