Within this page I will share my journey of research, most of which link directly back to previous pages. Casper David Freidrich - Wanderer Above The Sea of Fog Dan Holdsworth - Blackout http://www.danholdsworth.com/works/blackout/ Thomas Hirschhorn "...I want to create the condition for an Understanding of the World – the World I am living in.... Doing Collages means creating a New World with elements of the Existing World. Doing Collages is expressing the Agreement with the Existing World without approving it. This is Resistance." Caterina Rossato AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE "I often wonder what Wilhelm Kempff observes during the execution of the third movement of Beethoven’s Sonata Op.31 No.2, when he takes his eyes off the keyboard and the score to direct them far from the end of the piano. I have been trying for sixteen years to become a pianist to understand it. I ask to myself what happens to the photographs not taken or to the images captured only from the eyes and I am looking for a way to make them exist through the reflections that they leave in the other ones. I collect books that contain within them the phrase “as far as the eye can see” because I believe that, where the eyes cannot penetrate and the gaze fails to stop, there can only be a suspension of the speech. The sky is a recurring reference point: I perceive it as a unifying element of the infinite number of variations through which reality manifests itself and I like to think that over the centuries it has been the home to everything that is defined otherworldly or supernatural. My research never concludes with a discovery, rather it presents itself as the accumulation of fragments, reflections and potential horizons which, as impermanent as they are, suggest the existence of a “beyond” of the gaze."

Although rarely mentioned when referring to early proponents of photomontage, Renau is unquestionably as valuable to the process as any one of the usual expected names (Heartfield, Grösz, Hausmann, Hoch…). The theory behind his ‘unknown’ stems from his ideology. He joined The Communist Party of Spain in 1931 and was a life-long member. “I’m not a Communist painter, just a Communist that paints” – Renau Renau used American magazines to source his images. His work was politically inspired. He created a series 69 images, entitled ‘Fata Margana USA’. The theme was very much politically and socially driven – narrating on such things as sexism, racism, capitalism and commercialism.
