Collage

Bricolage, French for "tinkering" is the construction a work from a diverse range of things that happen to be available. This process, in literature and in art, is about shaping a text or the meaning of an image by reference to other texts or images, making meaning within  intertextuality.  Derrida pointed out the necessity of borrowing from conventions or heritage, which may be coherent or in a state of ruin, so that all discourse is bricoleur. Rather than figuring things out analytically, a bricolage approach is a way to learn and solve problems by playing around. A bricoleur appropriates images and text in ways that erase or subvert their original meaning.





















In modern life, images. including photographs are ubiquitous. They are both precious and almost worthless by virtue of their number. We post them, we communicate with them, they are ever present and   always surrounding us..  The collage is an apt metaphor for postmodern notions of art-making, drawing upon the semiotics of reusing and recasting signs and creating new referents and new meaning. In a photograph, we attempt to capture the ephemeral fleeting moments of life as it is lived.
