Beschrijving
Collage presents a mode of artistic representation that questions the way in which photography is truthful. Per definition, collages also connect pieces, in this case: a precise juxtaposition between women and men. But, it’s not only about meticulously matching the pieces or questioning the objectivity of photography, it’s also about creating new narratives with those pieces. What if all those male figures — dandies, soldiers, statesmen, boy scouts — had been women instead? What would that change in how we see history, power, or identity? With a dose of humour and an exacto knife, I flip the script and make it HERSTORY.
This ongoing project invites viewers to consider not only who gets to be seen in his/herstory, but how visual culture shapes our understanding of gender roles, power, and presence. Through collage, I construct an alternate reality — one that challenges, reclaims, and imagines anew.
All my collages are made by hand, using original vintage photographs and postcards. Every piece, once bound by personal or societal memory, is hand cut, coloured, pasted and brought back to life to tell a new story.
