New Yorker In Praha 2011
Peter Dijk, Netherlands

     

A perfect moment never lasts long but an imperfect moment may have a lasting impact. The form of leporello supports the continuum of the moment. It is composed of eight photomontages. Collages made from photographs and parts of photographs. The sources of the photos are ads in the 'New Yorker' and pictures from a book on Prague architecture called 'Dialog Tvaru'. Juxtapositioning the two sources led to a play with time/moment and perfection/decay . Specially made for Al-Mutanabbi Street Project 2012 in an edition of 5. www.peterdijk.nl
