The Life of Others #30 Collage by Leonie Dratwa

Collage: Paper on Paper.

Leonie Dratwa`s new series "The Life of Others" is a surreal and sometimes confusion collection of handcut photo collages.

Based on a catalogue of memories from magazines, archives and original photographies from the 50s and 60s, she rearranged different parts to create completely new images and atmospheres.

Photography, pictures in general, shapes our social and cultural identity. It allows us to create a reality that, after some time, will start to be treated as a historical truth.
You can look at these photographs from numerous perspectives every viewer will find different ways of perceiving them.
