This post is a display of 15 chaotic photo edits which I have produced in response to the photographer and film-maker Dexter Navy. In order to create these I have used imagery which I have taken over time from various countries (China, Italy, France, England etc…), some of my artwork and a couple of pieces of imagery found in newspapers. I used double exposures and high contrasts in order to form the layered chaotic aesthetic. I also embraced quite a low resolution aesthetic which is something I explored in my last coursework project and surprisingly found that it adds value to the images whereas I originally presumed it would take away from the quality of the images.
Choose one montage and show how you have made it and annotate.
For contextual studies I think you should produce a blog post on the origin and history of photo-montage beginning with Dadaism and Russian Avantgarde and Photography and Propaganda.
