John Stezaker
This is the second exhibition of John Stezaker at Galerie Gisela Capitain. In the new exhibition Stezaker shows a number of new Collages focusing on a recent use of images of water: waves, waterfalls, torrents.
Collage exists as a result of a tidal flotsam of images. Its fragments are left by the ebb of image circulation. The collection could be seen to represent a resistance to the formlessness of perpetual flow.
Inasmuch as the found image represents a withdrawal from flow, a seclusion of the image in a kind of stilling. But it still depends on a serial connection between images, whether this is in the collection of images or in the collage series. So rather than stilling you could say that the collage series are in themselves the eddy-currents of image circulation.
