The Pinokkio book from 1953 was a rich source for my collages. These collages are made on 300 grams water color paper and or A5 format. So roughly 15x20cm.
During my travels in May and June 2019 in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Bulgaria I made collages with found material along the way. It can be a 1953 Pinokkio book or an old National Geographic or even posters I took from the walls in streets.
The collages were made in hotel rooms with scissors, paper and glue I brought with me. The variation is limited because there is not much to be found these days. It seems that the street sellers switched over from books to cheap Chinese products.
No, I’m not sad about a stolen object or destruction. It’s a part of the game. Most of the collages and assemblages hanging in the streets are untouched and therefore probably respected. I will remove them all in the next month.
The discipline pigment transfer is mysterious and the outcome can be a surprise and a present. Like this one. A few items were added to make it even a bit more mysterious.
