Project Description

Paradise Found is a place-based project that focuses on the characteristics that give neighborhoods, communities and cities a sense of place. Khanh Le and Frank Olive have been walking, driving, taking photographs, and thinking about what defines the city of Syracuse as a place. They will produce a series of fifteen postcards that depict the people, sites, buildings, names, signs, advertisements, and businesses that make up the city’s identity. The postcards will be produced in large quantities and will be available for purchase at participating local venues. The project will then be open for local area residents in Syracuse and in other cities, nationally and internationally, to create images that represent important places, people and things that define their city to them. A selection of these images will be produced as postcards and also made available for purchase.
