analog collage
Materials: magazine clippings, reproduction of a painting by Georg Friedrich Kersting “Mann am Sekretar”, 1811
collage as a medium allows me to capture a state/emotion/thought as quickly as possible, as the images I work with push and spin the reel of associations in my head
part of "1836" Series
The series is based on an album of reproductions of German sentimental artists of the first half of the XIX century. Looking at the reproductions, there is a feeling that even at the time of creation, they had very little to do with reality. I combined these reproductions with modern digital photos, watching reality compete with unreality in more ways than one.
Each collage is a separate story, a puzzle that seeks to be solved.
At the same time, I dedicate each of them to one of my admired artists. Therefore, the work may have one or two titles.
