Juxtaposition
is collage,
which means placing one image in the context of another. Juxtaposition can also
mean relating one idea to another; this is conceptual collage. In
both cases, the juxtaposition constructs meaning by setting up a relationship
between the entities that are put together. This is a relationship based on a
shared concept. When we see these entities together we search for and discover
that concept that links them.
Create a work of art related to an
unusual juxtaposition. Consider concepts and items that normally wouldn’t be
seen together. Look at the surrealists and modern day illusionists for ideas.
Remember that according to André Breton, who published "The
Surrealist Manifesto" in 1924,
Surrealism was a means of reuniting conscious and unconscious realms of
experience so completely, that the world of dream and fantasy would be joined
to the everyday rational world in "an absolute reality, a surreality." Surrealism and
juxtaposition art also plays with scale and emphasis, making the relationship
between objects unusual and out of normal scale.
