Photomontage

Photomontage

 

Photomontage is a technique in visual arts where individual photographs or images are combined to create a single, composite image. It involves the process of cutting, rearranging, and layering different photographic elements to produce a new and often surreal or imaginative composition. Photomontage allows artists to create scenes that may not exist in reality, as well as convey unique narratives or concepts through the juxtaposition of disparate images. This technique has been used in various art movements, such as Dadaism and Surrealism, to challenge traditional representations and explore the boundaries of visual storytelling. With the advent of digital technology, photomontage has evolved to include digital manipulation and editing techniques, providing artists with even more creative possibilities.
