These mixtapes you’re all making are like mini artworks! . Would be amazing to have them photographed all together as a series, in a book or something. So clever, love it

I’m new here so wanted to say hi!

Im a UK artist that could use your help. I’m looking for mixtapes, original 80s and 90s ones for an archival project. Ideally they need to be personal to you. The best ones would be a tape that was made for you by and boyfriend/girlfriend. Can be any genre but needs to have some history, nostalgia. The more bashed up the better, it needs to tell a story. If you have the case with the hand written titles even better but not essential. Let me know in the comments if this is you and we can chat logistics.

I really appreciate how personal these are to people and that is the point of the project. Rest assured I would look after these objects, paying for insured postage to and from the owners. I want to photograph these on a large format camera and print them A1. Then create hyper real paintings of them, detailing every scratch and mark. Immortalising them forever. You will receive a smaller print as thank you. Your tape will be part of a larger series called Forgotten Formats: exploring the ideas of Love, memory, youth, identity, and loss. I completely understand if you do not wish to part with these objects, even for a week. But maybe there are people out there that might embrace this adventure.

Thanks for your time
