Gone Fishing - Thomas Mailaender
In the form of a fictional correspondence, Gone Fishing recounts the modern epic of a young man who prefers vacations with friends to his new responsibilities as a father. Through his letters, Thomas Mailaender paints an unflattering portrait of a teenage Ulysses more inspired by beer, deep-sea fishing and ping-pong than by the joys of fatherhood. Each of the 19 letters is illustrated with a portrait of the young father performing some appallingly banal feat to excuse his absence. The images are photomontages created by the artist from amateur photos collected on the Internet.
