Altered Realities,Hannah Hoch ans photo collage/montage

Altered Realities ideas

Altered realities to me is experimenting wihtin naturally beautiful or more urban landscapes and creating a new scene of nature and directional aspect of stature.I want to take a large array of images changing from the dynamic city scale and light capture to more forest areas and the nature aspect as a whole with the edition of editing. I want to show somewhat abstraction within the reposition and change of the images but also a new composition of interest and create a successful overall image.

I Chose this due to there is something strangely captivating about landscape photograph,I want to connect with the fundamental theme of abstraction and a reflection of altered impressionism to the photos,I think this artists above has so much interesting composition and also the way in which they use landscape to be inventive and capture the importance in the light and show the diversity of the world.

Hannah Höch

Is a German artist, she is well known for work of the Weimar period and when she was one fo the originators of the photomonage,she uses a type of collage ion which she pasted the images are actual photogohers and reproduction pulled press and widely ordocudec media. She was one of the originators of  Photomontage, this  is a type of collage in which the pasted items are actual photographs, or photographic reproductions pulled from the press and other widely produced media. Höch’s main aim throughout her work was to show fable and dichotomy that existed in the concept of the “New Woman”,she was one of the first females to start a feminist movement within her artwork.That movement was called the Dada movement or when in Dada,Her interest in the topic was in how the dichotomy was structured, as well as in who structures social roles.she aimed to dismantle the political discourse within the social roles of men and women.

Mind map

I chose many fo her politically icon works of her presenting women as equals to those of men in power, it shows how femininity is not a sign of weakness and how Male and patriarchal dominance is corrupt in the world in which we live today.

Image Analysis

Her work has a clear and development of presenting women as all equals even when presented against each other.There is also a strong sense of collage and a melding to presents a mixture of time and generation within the structure of ht apiece itself. Although many of the segments contrast the piece contextually makes sense as a whole. The colour are complimentary to the sense and blue is used to promote her self reflection of feeling of sadness to the way in which women are treated different to that of men.

Overall I could express some of her formats of creative collage into my work due to the interesting repletion of composition,but also try and use implication of themes of dominance within society throughout my work.

Experimentation of first altered realities idea

I decided to start off my experimentation with using my previous romanticised  landscape ideas and turning them into a basic square rotation;

additional edits:

Again this is experimenting. within panoramic images and also the composition in which an image itself is to be formed.
