The core concept seeks to generate postcards representing iconic destinations across different continents, relying on a progressive editing system where the artist decided to clone the models across open-air urban landmarks. Shifting between conceptual performance and dreamlike documentation, the horizontal layout anchors a powerful perspective structured around a bold color-block architectural environment, balancing multiple cloned figures of a black female nude distributed in theatrical statuesque poses over the famous. Buren columns installation in Paris, wearing soft ivory turbans while one clone balances a clean sphere shape Every element flows seamlessly against a background field dominated by sand-toned historic walls and geometric striped cylinders, finished on the upper left corner with an embedded red vintage postcard stamp illustration.
This series of photographs were taken for a European calendar. The idea was to create postcards with several countries on different continents, in the images the artist decided to clone the models.

Uwe Ommer (born 1943) in Bergisch Gladbach is a German photographer. Uwe Ommer became fascinated with photography at a young age. Initially sparked by his interest in photographing birds, he received his first camera at age 14 and began experimenting with his limited equipment. By the time Ommer was 18, he had given up on birds but was improving his skills as a photographer. He began working as an apprentice in a camera shop and soon picked up side projects for local papers, shooting everything from car accidents to weddings, when staff photographers were unavailable. In 2002, Uwe Ommer was awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the Royal Photographic Society for the impact of his lifetime of work.
