Maria Vaughan

A woman and a man remember their trip to a coastal city. Their voices reach us from an uncertain time, where past and present blur into one another. Memories overlap without order, each place leading to the next: a lookout point, a café, the beach at sunset, a park, and, above all, a bingo hall. A round of this game of chance, and his premonition of victory, sit at the heart of this act of remembering. The city stretches out like a postcard, and across it unfolds the story of a distant love, of a separation drawing near.

"Greetings From Las Vegas" is a video essay composed of a series of photographs taken during a roadtrip to Las Vegas, as well as postcards of the city.
