A tribute to the 100th Anniversary of Bauhaus
What is the significance of photo collage in these modern times saturated with fragmented visual images and the ubiquitous “special effects” of new technologies? Has this artistic process preserved its aesthetic relevance from the time of its creation about 100 years ago? An empirical view across the landscape of contemporary art provides a feeling that the interest in a collage in contemporary art has been growing again. Particularly in photography, works have been created that re-enforce the collage principle in the wider original contemporary practice. Project A New Vision of Debris is trying to answer the initial questions by presenting ten positions of regionally established female and male artists. At the same time, the project is an homage to the fabled Bauhaus school, which celebrates the 100th anniversary of its establishment this year, primarily to some of its protagonists who have taught photography and have established photo collage as a new and legitimate artistic practice.
