« VICTORY? | The birth of a slap » |
This collage goes quite easily. I choose a picture with "savages" and start hiding the letters on the bottom.
I then have the idea of introducing a white man in a sarcastic way with a mask (cf. Les Demoiselles d'Avignon).
I introduce a mix of white colon and savage.
But this makes me destroy the white man on the left, he's too present. I try an introduction of a tiny figure (Courbet) in the foreground.
The left side being too weak, I introduce a new element: better!
The collage is OK now, but a little bit boring in my eyes. I have to do something radical.
The final picture displays the idea I had when I introduced the white man: the church weighs when savages are missionized mixed with a bit of tourism, nepotism etc. That reminds me the book I made the cover picture for and the French translation of which we revised: The white man's burden, by W.Easterly.The disconnected picture of the cathedral wants to be the alien element in the collage, at the risk of disorganizing the whole. But I feel that it is worth the risk.
