Martha Rosler is an American artist. She works in photography and photo text, video, installation, sculpture, and performance, as well as writing about art and culture. Rosler’s work is centred on everyday life and the public sphere, often with an eye to women’s experience. Recurrent concerns are the media and war, as well as architecture and the built environment, from housing and homelessness to places of passage and systems of transport.

The work of hers that appeals to me is her photomontage work. The reason for this is that it has a message, the images aren’t just face value they are trying to make a statement. Sometimes the statement that she is trying to make is slightly controversial.

What she does it either takes or obtains images and then overlays parts of hem on-top on on another normally making it look obvious that she has done it, she doesn’t try to hide the fact that she has made adjustments to the images.

Here are some examples of her work:
