Galerie Capitain is pleased to announce the exhibition She with new works by the British artist John Stezaker.
Since the 1970s, found images have been the source material for John Stezaker's work. His collages and image fragments are composed of film stills, antiquarian portrait photographs of actors, or old postcards. Through minimal interventions such as combining two images, altering the image or reversing, Stezaker lends the images that refer to a bygone era and lost their original readability, a new autonomy and meaning.
The new full-color collages are composed of cutouts of silhouettes of almost exclusively female characters combined with film stills.
