What Collage Art Is?:))))
Collage is an assemblage of disparate parts that together form a new work. Often the power of the work lies in the juxtaposition of the various elements of the collage.
Collage art is a continuation of this process. footage that was not necessarily intended to go together is collaged in order to create a new work. The elements used in collage include found footage, animation, pictures, tickets, still imagery, news, texts and popular culture.
Like most appropriated art, collage is often intended to reveal then subvert the audience’s preexisting associations with the appropriated image.
Collage art creates an art experience that invites the viewer to meta-reflect on the act of watching a movie or read a story.
(I tried to create collage film art. and I made few artworks, so I can put here, later)
Do you ever self-censor yourself so that you can fit into the media mainstream....?
