Experimentelle Collagen // Experimental Collages [Deutsch/English]

Dear Friends of Art!

First of all, I'd like to show you a series of collages I did.

These collages are created out of onions and old pictures. Last year I started collecting some leftovers from onions and garlic, mainly the skin but also the ends of these vegetables. I did some other researches and put materials together to create new forms and tiny objects out of them.
At one point I found these old pictures in my stock of material. I once bought like 20 of these pictures at the flea market, not knowing what I wanted to do with them.

I played a little around and arranged the leftovers over the faces. I liked it a lot so I stabbed wholes in the pictures and put the onions inside.

For me there is a certain anonymity in these pictures, not least because I really don't know these persons. I think the connection of the anonymity and the new material is very interesting. It's a new personality which comes up.

For The young girl I was in the mood to try out some stitches.

At the end I presented the series like this:

What do you think?
