We have really enjoyed the research into the pictural and historical relationship between both. We have found very strange objects. Photos which have become genuine objects. Yet, the image remains very important. The peculiar form adds an extra dimension to the image. The reproduction of an issue of The Times of 1859 is an interesting example. When the reproduction of the newspaper issue measures only a couple of millimeters it becomes something completely different. In this case, we’re talking about “A Photographic Curiosity” (John C. Stovin). You need a good microscope to be able to read the newspaper. We’re in the middle of the 19th Century. The century of rationalism. Photography is new and the microscope becomes a part of the bourgeois living room. Combine the interest in microscopic slides and photography and you have microphotographs. Very small images, no larger than a microscope slide. Sometimes they made reproductions of Daguerreotypes on these microscopic slides. xavier@anamorfose.be (Xavier Debeerst) http://www.anamorfose.be/experimental-photography/micro-photography Thu, 03 Oct 2013 17:26:44 -0400 http://www.anamorfose.be/experimental-photography/photomontage Please scroll down to discover the catalogue The photomontage originates in the Vicitorian times with the combination of different Paper negatives into one positive print. Examples are the portraits where a figure is placed onto another background or the landscapes where another sky is used.The photomontage is at its best with the German Dadaïsts John Hartfield and Hannah Höch after the First World War. At that moment the photomontage was a technique used to find a new language in the search to show a different reality.The photomontages we show are fine examples of the Victorian group portraits. German soldiers took them home as a souvenir when they left the army. They are very complex photomontages of sometimes 30 or more different Paper negatives combined into one picture.Besides these Victorian photomontages we show the montages made by the Belgian designer Hameryckx. He used the photomontage to design ads. Now we use Photoshop to combine different images.(c) Xavier Debeerst, 18/12/2003 xavier@anamorfose.be (Xavier Debeerst) http://www.anamorfose.be/experimental-photography/photomontage Fri, 24 Feb 2012 03:19:13 -0500
