2-TIMES • Art
John Stezaker,
‘The Voyeur:
Photoroman
Collages,
1976–1979’
@ Petzel
—
“Where cinema
promises a space
in which reality &
illusion seamlessly
dissolve, the
photo–roman was
an opportunity for
me to explore the
seams.”
Photo–Romans:
Are a narrative-
focussed series of
photographs,
which, when put
together, tell a
unique story.
The exhibition:
Is London-based
Stezaker's 5th
solo at Petzel,
showcasing the
artist's collection
of Spanish photo–
roman collages,
predominately
featuring black
and white female-
orientated romantic
plots.
“The image
becomes real.
The act becomes
real. Reality and
illusion become
blurred...”
