The project Adriatic Postcards is a photographic field research of derelict hotel complexes along the Adriatic Coast. These hotels—which were built as the result of social planning wherein tourist vacations were intended for all social classes—now find themselves in a transitional process: from social to private ownership. Now, in their derelict state, they are being evaluated as having an attractive potential that should be refreshed with foreign investments and transformed into elite complexes with limited access. The photographs follow the aesthetic of representational and attractive postcards and thereby address the broader spatial context of the abandoned hotels.
