I Wish you were here explores the notion of surveillance. Through this series, Eduardo Serafim works with the border between security and voyeurism, public and private space. This project exceeds the intrusiveness that is normally found in these kinds of images. The images are taken from public spaces such as offices, hospitals, construction sites, and also within the privacy of people's homes. As though he is in a control tower, Serafim accesses other's lives creating postcards and mails them off to unsuspecting recipients, as a souvenir of a visit that never happened. He creates a tension between the most simple photographic representations and the weight that these images induce. The interest of this project is to go deeper into a current 

problem: how much are our lives are accessible by these new technologies? How disconnected are we from our privacy?
