About The Artwork
The darkened theatrical space of cinema with the flickering lights of film produce illusionary representations of reality suspended in time, a place where the nostalgia of the past and the desire of the present collide. Cinema gave birth to voyeurism, the cult of celebrity, the desire of advertising and the power of the image. The cinematic, historical, mythological and contemporary construction of the feminine, the spectator/screen relationship and the subject of the gaze are themes infused in my work transmitted within the conceptual nature of the act of collage. Obsessively, I collect Hollywood head-shots, film stills, vintage family photo albums, second-hand books, comics and fashion magazines, re-appropriating cultural iconography through the deconstruction of photographic imagery in order to create multiple series of works that question the conceptual nature of the image and our relationship to it.

Taking ownership of images from the past through the act of collage, my work establishes relationships and connections between the existence of one image and it's marriage with another. Photographs duplicated, cut up, divided and re-assembled like a jigsaw puzzle allow me to intervene with the authority of the original in order to create fresh readings born from the disruption of existing signs. www.claire-pestaille.co.uk www.facebook.com/claire.pestaille www.twitter.com/ClairePestaille www.paulstolpergallery.com www.5piecesgallery.com
