This series celebrates the Bodleian Library`s acquisition of Tom Phillips`s archive of over 50, 000 photographic postcards dating from the first half of the twentieth century, a period in which, thanks to the ever cheaper medium of photography, `ordinary` people could afford to own their portraits. Each title in this series is thematically assembled & designed by the artist, the covers featuring a linked painting specially created for each title from Tom Phillips`s signature work, A Humument. Fantasy Travel shows people sitting proudly & playfully in studio mock-ups of aeroplanes, cars, speedboats & hot air balloons. Such modes of transport were beyond the dreams of the average person in the early twentieth century but the photographic studios allowed them to indulge wild flights of fancy & take away the resulting postcards. ...

You don`t have to be mad to live here, but it helps If you want to understand Trump`s America, how the lines between reality & illusion have become dangerously blurred, you have to go back to the very beginning & take a dizzying road trip across five centuries of crackpot delusion & make-believe from Salem to Scientology. From the Pilgrim Fathers onward, America has been a place where renegades & freaks came in search of freedom to create their own realities with little objectively regulated truth standing in their way. To invent & believe what the hell you like is in some ways an unwritten constitutional right. Every citizen is more than ever gloriously free to construct & promote any vision of the world he or she devoutly believes to be true. That do-your-own-thing freedom
- run amok since the individualism & relativism of the 1960s & later the unprecedented free-for-all world of the Internet, is the driving credo of America`s current transformation where the difference between opinion & fact is rapidly crumbling. Fantasyland is a journey that joins the dots between the disparate crazed franchises of true believers
- America`s endless homespun rebooting of Christianity from Mormons to charismatics, medicine shows to new age quacks, conspiracy theorists of every stripe, showmen hucksters from P T Barnum to Trump himself, Creationists to climate change deniers, extra-terrestrial obsessives to gun-toting libertarians, anti-Government paranoia, pseudoscience, survivalists & satanic panic. Along the way Kurt Andersen has created a unique & raucous history of America & a new paradigm for understanding our post-factual world.
