![]() This thesis is concerned with more than photomontage as a means of creating overtly political art, however. The photograph(s) may come from the mass media, or it can be privately created. For the purposes of this study, “photomontage” is defined as any artwork into which a photograph is collaged in order to construct a political narrative.

Audiences thus are invited to take a second look, raise open questions of how the impossible reality can happen though they see that it is against the laws of nature.Ĭurtiss, D P 1999, ‘Digitization and Deconstruction, What role aesthetics?’, Journal of Visual Literacy, vol. Light, colour and shadow are adjusted to lure the audiences into the utopian, the dream-like environment. In this picture I made, the single components of the landscape, the lake and the sleepwalker are blended harmoniously with each other to depict a seamless representation that looks real, as if it’s happening in real life. While deconstructive montage deals with a clear, explicit and instructive message to give direction to thinking, virtual reality requires viewers to ask themselves again of what is the meaning behind the picture, how can it happen in real life? Virtual reality ‘describes a space of possibility or impossibility formed by illusionary addresses to the senses’ (Grau, 2003, p. ![]() That can be revealed that deconstructive montage ‘are deconstructing or destroying the canon of what is considered Art’ (Curtiss, 1999, p. Another point to be reflected is that during the making process, it was seen that the fun of creating this image carried me away that I did not recognise that my humour outweighed the aesthetic aspect of the picture. ![]() In other words, the fragments and ruptures in the deconstructive montage can be politically or socially alarming (Hall, cited in Evans, J 1997). Indeed, people can look at it and grab immediately the explicit meaning of the picture they can relate it with the society nowadays. The mass media images were put together, they look fake and clumsy, things seem to fall apart, but surprisingly, they can be productive, they produce a documentary picture that ‘record our time and place in history and they reflect who and what we are’ (Curtiss, 1999, p. ![]() Yet, through juxtaposition, the montage deals with cut and paste contradictory pieces and an integrated visual language, a new way of thinking was achieved. With deconstructive montage, my picture is made up of an array of elements between them the audiences may not find any relation or supportive meaning between each other. Without doubt, these two visual strategies both take every single piece of photograph and mingle them to make meaning however in the process of making these pictures, the difference between those two strategies were unveiled in several aspects. However photomontage is not simply putting images together without bothering about its context, it is not innocent in its natural way but it does convey something to the audiences.įor this assignment, I have a chance to explore two major visual strategies of photomontage which is deconstructive montage and virtual reality. Photomontage combines pictures together to re-contextualise and construct a new meaning for the image the montage therefore can be described as the picture of pictures of pictures. Never before had we encountered a massive number of digital manipulated images among them, the use of montage as a visual technique is significant. ![]()
