28 February 2003James Balog's photocollages evoke David Hockney's distinctive work from the mid-1980s. A short essay on photocollages and photomontages. Gallery of photomontage works by German Dada artist, Hannah Hoch. Raoul Hausmann, Am Anfang war Dada (1971) [Translation, Tim Benson from Raoul Hausmann and Berlin DADA (1987)] on photomontage: Seeing is a social process--we banalize things through visual allegory which takes from them their multiplicity of meaning...Our perception appears to be blind to the background, the space between things--and it is precisely this that the photomonteur lets us perceive and recognize. He creates his photomontage out of the insignificant inbetween-parts and uses the unperceived optics. Copyright © 2002-2005 esthet |
