'COMPO - SITE'


'COMPO - SITE' is a collection of motifs which have been produced from the re-composition of separate photographic images according to a non-finite procedure of random or visual associations and connotations.

This syntactical exercise born of a technical precedent loosely centered within the genre of the "collage" seeks to amplify and re-interpret (by relation and interrelation) the urban incidents composed and related as recorded within the individual frames into inter-related composite images based upon the interpretation of formal parities and resonances within the conjoined contents.

The formal composition of these arrangements also derives from, and are frequently generated by, the promptings of the visual contents and their nature and dynamics of both surface, relief and linear elements.

The resulting works echo the basis of the dada / surrealists procedures of random conjunction utilizing and providing an architectonic document with covert critical potential of the 20th Century western urban landscape.

The project culminates in the presentation via the catalogue of images which adopts the 'readymade' format of the postcard which invites the participation of the observer in the broadcast and dissemination of the work as an alternative to the conventional agencies of the dealer / gallery system.
