Author: Jim Jarmusch
Although best known for his cinematic career, over the years Jim Jarmusch has produced hundreds of pieces of collage art. Drawing inspiration from the largest medium of cultural documentation –newspapers – Jarmusch crafts each work by layering newsprints on cardstock. In Some Collages, these notecard-size pieces not only pay homage to the documentation medium but are a reminder of how even mundane images can be reconfigured into work that is alternatively funny, scary and strange.Doppelgänger Andy Warhols are posed in a vast tunnel not unlike the depths of the Large Hadron Collider, Patty Hearst’s mugshots drift across Edwardian portraits, and a man’s identity is disguised with a coyote’s head: maybe he was a celebrity, politician, perp, or all three.
ISBN 9781944860424. Anthology Editions. hb. 264 pages. 146 ills. 21.3 x 15.2 cm.
